boost update 1.86 breaks the build (...again)

[tkwilliams]

Looks like boost added some data types in 1.86 which conflict with those defined in monero - example below.

Sadly, the distros (OpenSUSE in my case) have started pushing out boost-1.86 to their repos and this is of course breaking the package builds.

This built flawlessly against boost-1.85 of course, but backwards compat has always been a low priority for the boost devs :-/

Thanks!

Thank you for reporting this.

Duplicate. Closing it.

[tkwilliams]

Not a duplicate actually. boost-1.85 broke SOME stuff, but boost-1.86 broke some entirely NEW STUFF. I don't see any mention in the #9450 thread addressing the new breakage , so I opened this as a new bug.

[selsta]

9450 fixes build with boost 1.86

[tkwilliams]

Oook, sorry if so. Lemme give it another try :)

[selsta]

the PR title should ideally be updated to make it more clear

[tkwilliams]

Builds great when I apply it to master. Sadly, master and v0.18.3.4 have diverged pretty significantly (e.g. I can't just rebase v0.18.3.4 against master, then apply this, which would be needed to justify building a package). The packaging standards are averse to building straight from master - they prefer the pretense of "RELEASE + some git tag", which is of course NO MORE "stable" than just building from master to begin with, but what can you do :)

No worries, you folks will cut a new release soon enough and we can go from there.

Thanks for all the hard work!

@tkwilliams thanks for updating / reporting this issue.

Keeping this issue closed.

[selsta]

@tkwilliams there is also a release branch version of this PR open #9462 that should apply without issues

[tkwilliams]

NICE! Fetching now :)

Thanks @selsta
