Fails with error: invalid variable name: `–-with-boost' #28

Closed conchoecia closed 6 years ago

conchoecia commented 6 years ago

Is the --with-boost option actually implemented in configure? I will post if I find a solution

erenna:[/usr/local/bin/biobloom]$ sudo ./configure –-with-boost=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ --prefix=/usr/local/bin/biobloom/bin && sudo make install configure: error: invalid variable name:–-with-boost'`

The problem was from copying the --with-boost from the html of the github page. Maybe check that there are actually two hyphens and not another character from another keyboard?

Thanks for the report. It wasn't the right character somehow. Funny how things like that can pop up. It should be fixed in the readme now.
