Compilation fails. Deprecated boost function?

[MickHardins]

Compilation fails with -DUSE_SENTENCEPIECE -DCOMPILE_SERVER flags. Below the errors:

My configuration:

• Ubuntu 20.04
• GCC/G++ 8.4.0
• libboost 1.71.0
• CUDA 10.2

Maybe due to a deprecated boost function?

[snukky]

Which Marian version is it? I think marian-server in 1.9.0 works with Boost 1.68 or lower only. https://github.com/marian-nmt/marian-dev should work with Boost 1.71 too. Related issue: #340

[frankseide]

I thought we removed all Boost dependency?

[emjotde]

Not for the optionally compiled marian-server. It's not using boost anywhere else.

[MickHardins]

Thanks for your responses. I can confirm that marian-dev works fine on boost 1.71. To build marian I followed the instructions provided on the documentation section of the website. Is there a compatibility table to know which version of boost is needed for different versions of the marian server? (like the GCC/CUDA compatibility table)

[snukky]

Unfortunately we don't have that compatibility table yet, but that's a good idea to create one. Thanks! FYI, v1.10 supports now Boost at least up to 1.75. Closing.
