In document https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/blob/master/unix/README.md,

dependency on libboost-thread-dev is missing.

Regards, fjf2002

This is entirely intentional. As of v3.8.0-alpha.10064268, POV-Ray should no longer require libbost-thread-dev, as it has been updated to rely entirely on C++11 features instead of boost for multithreading.

Should you experience any build errors without first installing libboost-thread-dev, please let us know.
