http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530069 Summary: A file (libboost_test_exec_monitor.a) which belongs to Boost.Test is missing from Boost packages Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: pth@novell.com ReportedBy: vlukas@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux; x86_64; en_US) KHTML/3.5.10 (like Gecko) SUSE The Unit Testing Framework which belongs to the Boost libraries contains an object file archive named libboost_test_exec_monitor.a. This file is missing from the RPM packages provided by Opensuse (Factory). In more detail, neither boost-devel nor libboost_test1_39_0 do contain the mentioned file: Executing "rpm -ql libboost_test1_39_0" gives /usr/lib64/libboost_prg_exec_monitor.so.1.39.0 /usr/lib64/libboost_unit_test_framework.so.1.39.0 Executing "rpm -ql boost-devel | grep exec" gives /usr/include/boost/iostreams/detail/execute.hpp /usr/include/boost/python/exec.hpp /usr/include/boost/test/execution_monitor.hpp /usr/include/boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp /usr/include/boost/test/included/prg_exec_monitor.hpp /usr/include/boost/test/included/test_exec_monitor.hpp /usr/include/boost/test/prg_exec_monitor.hpp /usr/include/boost/test/test_exec_monitor.hpp /usr/lib64/libboost_prg_exec_monitor-mt.so /usr/lib64/libboost_prg_exec_monitor.so /usr/share/aclocal/ax_boost_test_exec_monitor.m4 "find /usr/lib64 -iname "*test_exec*"" also produces no output. The full set of Boost RPMs is installed: "rpm -qa | grep boost | sort" gives boost-devel-1.39.0-1.1 boost-doc-1.39.0-1.1 boost-jam-3.1.17-1.14 boost-jam-debuginfo-3.1.17-1.3 boost-jam-debugsource-3.1.17-1.3 boost-license1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_date_time1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_filesystem1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_graph1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_iostreams1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_math1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_mpi1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_program_options1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_python1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_regex1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_serialization1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_signals1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_system1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_test1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_thread1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 libboost_wave1_39_0-1.39.0-1.1 Building Boost 1.39 from scratch produces the mentioned object archive: After executing "bjam --build-dir=/home/lima/vanilla_sources/boost_1_39/obj_dir --layout=system toolset=gcc stage" in the source directory, executing "find boost_1_39_0/stage/lib/ -iname "*test_exec*"" gives boost_1_39_0/stage/lib/libboost_test_exec_monitor.a Please note that this report is not merely about a missing object archive counterpart to a shared object. In fact, the original build of Boost only produces the .a file, and no corresponding .so, as can be seen above.
