We want to provide python libs by default, and some other
popular Linux distributions like redhat/fedora does the same.

Has something changed? Is there anything in oe-core or meta-oe which
now needs boost python support enabled?

Does it even actually build on all arches?

I'm rather behind with patch review right now as people are putting so
many patches out there with what seems like minimal testing and
expecting me/Ross and the autobuilder to figure out the problems for
them.

Each time one fails, it blocks the queue with the rest of them in and I
have to retest until I get something clean.

Testing this change is quite a way down my priority list I'm afraid.

Cheers,

Richard

Maybe this is better done in our distro configuration.

We're trying to minimize differences with oe-core and
the boost python support doesn't seem to be much of an
impact based on looking at logs rather than a having a
detailed understanding of boost.

We've had this commit in our local branch since before:

CommitDate: Wed Dec 21 22:16:31 2016 -0800

     boost: add python to default PACKAGECONFIG options

     We want to provide python libs by default, and some other
     popular Linux distributions like redhat/fedora does the same.

     (LOCAL REV: NOT UPSTREAM) -- sent to oe-core on 20160930

so it certainly builds for all qemu* for glibc configurations.

I'll see if we can add musl builds to our automated builds tonight.

Jackie,

Did/Can you build for musl?
Do you have any idea of the impact of this config on users that are not
interested in the python interface with boost?
What's the additional cost in compile time?



There certainly are a rush of package updates and other changes
coming in; apologies for the lack of warning and late arrivals.
Other than doing more testing and explaining what tests were done,
what else can we do to help?

No, I didn't build for musl yet, but yes, I can and will do the test with musl
and fix issues as needed.

I don't think there is any impact, each library is packaged into a separate
package named with boost-<lib name>

> What's the additional cost in compile time?

A quick test indicates that it's less than 1 second:

$ grep -r 'Elapsed time:' 20170823073306/boost-1.64.0-r0/do_compile 20170823075302/boost-1.64.0-r0/do_compile
20170823073306/boost-1.64.0-r0/do_compile:Elapsed time: 50.96 seconds
20170823075302/boost-1.64.0-r0/do_compile:Elapsed time: 51.63 seconds

Thanks,
Jackie

I'm aware of a package in meta-sdr that will need boost python support.
So there is need for this feature.

I tested for all qemu* with:
$ for i in qemuarm qemuarm64 qemux86 qemux86-64 qemuppc qemumips qemumips64; do MACHINE="$i" TCLIBC=musl bitbake boost

And all passed, could you point me out what the failure is caused by this patch?

Saw that this was applied already. Sorry for the noise..
