The full text of the PR can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/133487 -- Edwin Groothuis via the GNATS Auto Assign Tool edwin@FreeBSD.org State Changed From-To: open->feedback Awaiting maintainers feedback (via the GNATS Auto Assign Tool) Resolution: Suggest applying this patch and keeping it until updating to boost-1.38. Analysis: The root cause of the issue is boost matching endianess using method of GNU libc, which is not compatible with the way BSDs define endianess. They've fixed this in 1.38 by applying a patch from NetBSD. See https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1922 for details. Future directions: The fix applied in 1.38 is to match against CPU architecture if matching using GNU method fails. This may re-introduce bugs for platforms, not specifically listed in boost header file. Suggest proposing the patch, attached to this issue, for permanent inclusion into boost libraries. Alexander Churanov, maintainer of devel/boost Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->lwhsu I'll take it. State Changed From-To: feedback->closed Committed.
