Debian/Arch Build/Run instructions

[omac777]

I noticed when we use the standard installed debian/arch boost environments, they have stuff installed in a way that bjam/cmake don't behave as expected when building. In order to circumvent these problems, the easiest way is to ensure you do have boost tools installed, cmake installed, then finally rebuild the latest boost libs from sources yourselves.

apt-get install libboost-tools-dev cmake cmake-curses-gui
pacman -S boost-libs
pacman -S boost-build

cd /usr/local/
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.59.0/boost_1_59_0.tar.gz/download
tar xvf boost_1_59_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_59_0/
bjam
export BOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/boost_1_59_0

cd /usr/local/boost_1_59_0/tools/build
./bootstrap.sh
./b2 install --prefix=/usr/local/boost_1_59_0

Add to ~/.bashrc
export BOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/boost_1_59_0
export PATH=$PATH:$BOOST_ROOT/bin
logout and login

cd ~/Downloads/
git clone https://github.com/cierelabs/x3_fun.git
cd x3_fun
bjam -a -d+2

Thanks for the instructions. I wonder where to place these instructions. Hmmm...
