build boost-regex x64-linux dynamic library error on centos 6.6 devtoolset-7

[sadofwind]

I failed to build boost dynamic library on centos 6.6 with devtoolset-7. I have the newest master branch and run bootstrap-vcpkg.sh and './vcpkg update' this is my log.

./vcpkg install boost-regex

Same with Ubuntu 18.04.

I have the same issue, on Fedora 29. I'm trying to build boost with dynamic linkage, using a custom-defined triplets/x64-linux-dynamic.cmake:

set(VCPKG_TARGET_ARCHITECTURE x64)
set(VCPKG_CRT_LINKAGE dynamic)
set(VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE dynamic)

set(VCPKG_CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux)

Calling vcpkg install boost:x64-linux-dynamic then fails with the following output:

[byronfa]

anybody found a fix for this?

[JosebaDA]

Reproduced (boost-regex) with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, with a fresh install (no libraries previously installed, only added the dynamic triplet)

Checked whether the triplet is correct by installing some other libraries without issues.

Error trace after building:

Despite what the error message says, the library is built:

vcpkg/buildtrees/boost-regex/x64-linux-dynamic-rel/boost/build/31539694badee8abff083ccb1877aba1> ls

It appears to be a problem with a path that makes boost-modular-build.cmake unable to find the built libraries when dynamic is used in the triplet. It works correctly if static is used.

Relevant boost-modular-build.cmake lines (84-86):

        if(NOT EXISTS ${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/lib)
            message(FATAL_ERROR "No libraries were produced. This indicates a failure while building the boost library.")
        endif()
