Trying to compile libtorrent-daemon (recursive git checkout) ends up failing because no toolset is found. I've tried to setup the environment as textproc/kenlm but it still fails with the same error. On Debian you just need to run 'bjam' and it works so I guess it's some quirk regarding FreeBSD. setenv BOOST_BUILD_PATH /usr/local/share/boost_build diizzy@hanekawa:~/libtorrent-bjam/libtorrent-daemon % bjam CXXFLAGS = LDFLAGS = OS = FREEBSD warning: No toolsets are configured. warning: Configuring default toolset "gcc". warning: If the default is wrong, you may not be able to build C++ programs. warning: Use the "--toolset=xxxxx" option to override our guess. warning: For more configuration options, please consult warning: http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html warn: Unable to construct ./libtorrent-daemon error: no generators were found for type 'EXE' error: and the requested properties error: make sure you've configured the needed tools See http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html To debug this problem, try the --debug-generators option. Not setting a BOOST_BUILD_PATH at all results in bjam not finding jam-files at all. Setting clang as toolset doesn't work as boost doesn't know about clang or so it says. This is on FreeBSD 11.1 and a current version of the ports tree.
(In reply to daniel.engberg.lists from comment #0) > setenv BOOST_BUILD_PATH /usr/local/share/boost_build No one maintains boost_build, not even upstream. What Debian probably does is install *.jam files from tools/build/ that match installed boost-jam version.
Try the following workaround: % cd /usr/ports/devel/boost-libs % make clean patch BATCH= % setenv BOOST_BUILD_PATH `make -V WRKSRC`/tools/build/ % cd ~/libtorrent-bjam/libtorrent-daemon % bjam
Hi Jan! Many thanks for the instructions, libtorrent-daemon (https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent-daemon/) compile unfortunately the code is broken in libtorrent-webui but that's not related to bjam. Sorry for the late reply Best regards, Daniel
