The change to the boost-lib port introduced in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=144336 caused other regression. For example, see this: http://bind10.isc.org/ticket/1991 I confirmed this behavior with FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE (i386) and boost-libs-1.48.0_1 and g++ (GCC) 4.2.2 20070831 prerelease [FreeBSD]. It can more easily be confirmed by compiling this code: #include <boost/numeric/conversion/cast.hpp> #include <stdint.h> int main() { return (boost::numeric_cast<uint16_t>(0)); } as follows: g++ -Werror -I/usr/local/include -c testcode.cc It was also discussed with the boost developers: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4381 (see also https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4669) and, as discussed there, it seems the change to the port is not the right solution. For that matter, I just confirmed I can successfully build libtorrent-rasterbar-15-python even suppressing the corresponding change in /usr/local/include/boost/config/compiler/gcc.hpp by hand. So, I now propose reverting the change. It seems it suffices if we can simply remove ports/devel/boost-libs/files/patch-boost__config__compiler__gcc.hpp Fix: See the description. How-To-Repeat: See the description.
