Fixes #1

Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found it was in an excellent condition.

[jschueller]

should you not disable all other sub-libs ?

[isuruf]

@jschueller, when this is given only python lib is built. You can see that in the logs.

[jschueller]

oh ok sorry

I'm getting a weird error in appveyor x64 builds. Any suggestions?

[jschueller]

file path limit ?
this is pretty long: boost_1_63_0/libs/geometry/doc/html/geometry/spatial_indexes/creation_and_modification.html
maybe it fails on x64 because the location crosses the limit since there's a "-x64" suffix in CONDA_INSTALL_LOCN=C:\Miniconda-x64

[isuruf]

Probably. without -x64 it is 256 chars long and with -x64 it is 260 chars long.
What I don't get is why it didn't fail before.

[jschueller]

it was conda-build 1.x ?

[isuruf]

Yes, that seems to be the case. @msarahan, any suggestions?

[jschueller]

@isuruf that's definitively it: the build dir changed from conda-bld/work from conda-bld/recipe_[unixtime] which is much longer, got the same problem for another recipe

[isuruf]

Thanks @jschueller for the info. Can you open an issue in conda-build ?

[jakirkham]

We just updated to conda-build 2 the other day. Undoubtedly there may be some issues we uncover. However, unlike conda-build 1 we will get better support.

[isuruf]

It works on my fork, so I created conda-forge/conda-smithy/pull/419

[isuruf]

@jakirkham, Look at the last build.

C:\bld\recipe_1484368660609       # conda-build 2.x with this PR
C:\Miniconda3-x64\conda-bld       # conda-build 1.x

[jakirkham]

Nice! Looks good. Let's add that to conda-forge-build-setup. Could you please do a PR?

[isuruf]

Deleted the changes for build directory as it is now in conda-forge-build-setup.
Tests pass now, except for one test in appveyor which fails due to a corrupt download.

[jakirkham]

Appears to have passed on master. Thanks for doing this, @isuruf.

[jakirkham]

Though it does seem we are missing the headers for Boost.Python in Linux and OS X packages. Windows packages seem to include all the headers for all of Boost. 😕

Edit: Raised as issue ( #29 ).
