The Boost Python Library is a framework for interfacing Python and
C++. It allows you to quickly and seamlessly expose C++ classes
functions and objects to Python, and vice-versa, using no special
tools -- just your C++ compiler.
NOTE: If this package has multiple flavors (see below), then use one of them instead of the name specified above. NOTE: This is a Python port. Instead of py311-boost-libs listed in the above command, you can pick from the names under the Packages section.
===> The following configuration options are available for py311-boost-libs-1.88.0:
DEBUG=off: Build with debugging support
OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=off: Use extra compiler optimizations
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
devel/boost: improve port (+)
1. Convert ZSTD support to option, default on.
2. Support for additional image formats in the Generic Image Library (adds raw,
PNG, TIFF, and JPEG formats). Added as an option, default off.
3. Resolve the problem preventing our *at() functions (like statat() and
openat()) from being detected, it'a Linux-only feature.
4. do-test target provided -- it is of limited utility, because it takes
multiple days and reports a lot of seemingly false problems.
5. Only extract the docs subdirectory, when building boost-docs -- saves some
diskspace during builds. Likewise, when building jam (b2) don't extract other
code.
6. Plist sort, .CURDIR usage optimization.
7. Backport a proper fix for broken function program_location_impl in Boost.DLL
