Same for:

$ ck install package:lib-boost-1.65.1
$ ck install package:lib-boost-1.62.0

There were two partially dependent reasons for this failure.
They should have been addressed by the following commits:
ctuning/ck-env@cb27dc8
and
4099835

Could you please pull from both repositories and try again?

I am not sure but I think it's something else. I set up various GCC/LLVM variables to work with cmake and set up boost properly, but I never checked it for ICC, and boost requires some hacking for different compilers ...

Hi @ens-lg4. Actually I somehow looked at a wrong patch yesterday (we are under pressure to finish AE for ReQuEST so life is a bit hectic). The patch you mention may actually work correctly - I meant this kind of change - I will try to check it shortly ...

[gfursin]

Just checked 1.62.0 and 1.66.0 - works fine with Intel now. Thanks @ens-lg4 .
@psyhtest - just don't forget to do "ck refresh env" to get correct update for your ICC environment, if it's already installed ... Then boost should pick up proper toolchain ...

My only concern is that I don't remember if we use "CK_COMPILER_TOOLCHAIN_NAME" somewhere else or only in BOOST now (I searched and couldn't find any other traces). I.e. will "intel-linux" be correct for other project apart from BOOST. But since I couldn't find other occurrences of this env, I consider that it's ok for now ... Besides we do not use ICC so often, so if someone notices an issue, they will hopefully report us ...
