Rev boost libraries (compilation error)

[chartl]

Newer versions of the c++ compilers (those which are standard in ubuntu 13) don't play nicely with the TIME_UTC variable defined in boost_1_49_0. This is fixed in a later version, but attempting to build iSAAC on a fresh checkout results in boost failing to install with

./boost/thread/xtime.hpp:88:1: error: expected declaration before ‘}’ token

the (ugly) hack of

• downloading boost_1_55_0
• unpacking and renaming directory to boost_1_49_0
• repacking and replacing the boost_1_49_0.tar.bz2 that comes with iSAAC

results in a happy build.

Thanks a lot for reporting this one and offering a workaround. Another possible workaround (bot tested) would be to install boost_1_55_0 and to set the environment variable BOOST_ROOT to boost_1_55_0. In that case, the iSAAC configure script would skip the install of boost_1_49_0

I've put in boost 1.53. Please tell me if it works with your system. Switching to boost 1.55 is problematic as then it needs to compile properly with cygwin, which it does not at the moment.

Boost 1.53 works fine for me.
