Boost versions is archived #4

Closed cvvergara closed 3 years ago

cvvergara commented 3 years ago

this action still works, but eventually it will be outdated because this is an archived repository https://github.com/actions/boost-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json

MarkusJx commented 3 years ago

Yeah, that's actually a problem I've known for quite a while now. As it seems there are no prebuilt versions available, I may start building them myself...at some point. I'll let you know if anything changes.

This https://www.boost.org/users/download/ Has a link that says :

Prebuilt windows binaries.

That takes you here
https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/

maybe you can use that

MarkusJx commented 3 years ago

Yeah, the thing is, these prebuilts are windows-only (although unix-like systems do have prebuilt options). Plus, I'd have to test if those versions work with the github runners, so I'll probably try to recreate the actions/boost-versions repo to supply the prebuilts.

Anyways, thank you for your suggestion, I'll consider using those prebuilts if my plan doesn't work :)

Okay, so I've started compiling new Boost versions in a new repo. You can try it out using the v2.beta.1 branch version tag. That should work. I think.

I'll close this issue once this branch is merged into main and version 2.0.0 is released.

Thanks will give it a try on my pgRouting dev repo. Can not use it on the main repo because we have to test from v1.56
