build fails with boost errors

[jrieffel]

Which version of boost should be installed? I currently have

Version: 1.58.0.1ubuntu1

on Ubuntu 16.04 (installed via apt install libboost-all-dev)

[ 1%] Building CUDA object CMakeFiles/voxelyze.3.0.dir/src/VX3/VX3_SimulationManager.cu.o In file included from /home/rieffelj/src/voxcraft-sim/src/VX3/VX3_SimulationManager.cu:2:0: /home/rieffelj/src/voxcraft-sim/src/Utils/ctool.h:11:29: fatal error: boost/process.hpp: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

update: i installed the latest version of boost from source (1.73) and now get a new error which makes me think voxcraft-sim requires an earlier version of boost:

[ 1%] Building CUDA object CMakeFiles/voxelyze.3.0.dir/src/VX3/VX3_Collision.cu.o /usr/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp: In function ‘constexpr bool boost::system::detail::failed_impl(int, const boost::system::error_category&)’: /usr/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:425:1: error: expression ‘boost::system::error_category::failed’ is not a constant-expression

I was able to compile using boost 1.65.1 (on ubuntu 18.04.4) and boost 1.67.0 (RHEL 7). I am not sure what specific range of boost versions the code currently supports but either of the above should work.

Mine is 1.66/1.67 (on ubuntu 19.10)

[jrieffel]

Okay, I was able to compile and run with 1.65.1 installed. Thanks!

And we updated the README, thanks
