libboost

I noticed there are several 'libboost-' available for my debian-system,
versions 1.27 to 1.30
vs- source include boost 128 (1.28?) and 129, would it be possible to use the libraries provided by debian instead of vs's own ones?

Well VS is only compatible with 1.28 and 1.29, so we don't want newer or older versions.

Also, 1.29 usually doesn't compile on linux, but windows VC++7 works only with 1.29, meaning that we need both..

Vegastrike also only includes boost-python, and nothing else

just thought that might save you some work, but i also experienced boost-129 not working in linux

Yes, there is another topic in the forum for all the more modern systems out there here is a link. There are probably more, but I thought this might be more relevant for now. Don't forget the wiki page.

I see your configure command enabled the old boost
$ ./configure --enable-boost-128
--with-data-dir=/home/ygarl/VS/vegastrike/data


try going to the source directory and typing

./configure
--with-data-dir=/home/ygarl/VS/vegastrike/data

and ommitting the enable-boost-128

I should take that out of the linux script given that more and more people are using 3.4.3 and fewer people are using 2.95 (which refuses to comp0ile unless the boost128 is specified)

we got boost 1.31 in the VS source package--but we call it boost 1.29 cus it looks that way to vegastrike itself (1.31 looks like 1.29 wheras 1.28 was a huge step backwards)
