Attachments: Boost 1.35 package for buildroot

Boost 1.35 package for buildroot

The attached package builds Boost 1.35, which is getting rather old. Boost uses a rather tricky build system for the compiled libraries (most are headers only, i.e. no problem), so updating the package to a later version may not be straight ahead.

Known issues: atomic_add32() and atomic_cas32() are set to abort if called on ARM, we have never seen them be called.

Move milestone to 2010.05 since enhancements will not be handled before the release of 2010.02.
Comment 2 Thomas Petazzoni 2012-02-03 13:34:00 UTC
A boost package, with boost 1.47.0 has been added in Buildroot and will be part of the upcoming 2012.02 stable release.
