This page describes non-trivial stuff on porting [[http://www.boost.org|boost]] libraries to %%FreeBSD%%. By intent this page should contain current status of Boost ports, a list of decisions, rationales and other things like that.

===== Current State =====

  * The port is out of sync with boost.org: upstream has 1.42, ports have 1.41
  * Boost-1.42 is tested in full on 7.2, ready for 6.x and 8.x.
  * The most recent patch is at ''%%http://alexanderchuranov.com/boost-port/boost-from-1.41-to-1.42-2010-02-16-17-11.diff%%'' (This link is broken)

===== Known Issues =====

  * Boost.Test report less details for SIGBUS, SIGCHLD, SIGSEGV and SIGILL on %%FreeBSD%% than it might on other UNIX-like platform. The reason is detailed information is not available on %%FreeBSD%% 6x. The issue is temporary.
  * Boost.Math does not support long double version of functions, because related functionality only presents in %%FreeBSD%%-8.

===== Future Efforts =====

  * Test on 8.x and 6.x

===== Past Efforts =====

  * A patch for updating from 1.41 to 1.42 is [[http://alexanderchuranov.com/boost-port/boost-from-1.41-to-1.42-2010-02-16-17-11.diff|created]].
  * [[AlexanderChuranov/BoostPortingProject/1.39-to-1.41|Updating from 1.39 to 1.41]]
  * [[AlexanderChuranov/BoostPortingProject/1.37-to-1.39|Updating from 1.37 to 1.39]]
  * [[AlexanderChuranov/BoostPortingProject/1.34-to-1.37|Updating from 1.34 to 1.37]]
