This page describes non-trivial stuff on porting 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
Past Efforts
A patch for updating from 1.41 to 1.42 is
created.
