sudo brew install boost --with-c++11
Password:
Error: Running Homebrew as root is extremely dangerous and no longer supported.
As Homebrew does not drop privileges on installation you would be giving all
build scripts full access to your system.

@jackdon what makes you think the install is not supported?

From what I understand, brew warns you about using sudo as you install a package (which is weird, I don't have to use sudo to install packages on my machine. Have you tried brew doctor to debunk the problem?).

Is audiowaveform not on Brew?

@qodesmith Did you also do brew tap bbc/audiowaveform?

qodesmith commented 6 years ago
