From ec35169d92098eb40bd95eaffd09bf14a9166add Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Wladimir J. van der Laan" Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2017 09:14:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Merge #11936: [build] Warn that only libconsensus can be built without Boost 3eb4d45 [build] Warn that only libconsensus can be built without boost (Varunram) Pull request description: This replaces the "configure: error: Could not find a version of the boost_system library!" message you receive when trying to build without Boost, with "only libbitcoinconsensus can be built without boost". `./configure --with-utils=no --disable-bench --disable-gui-tests --disable-tests --with-daemon=no --without-gui --disable-wallet --with-boost=no` builds libconsensus. `./configure --with-boost=no` should always fail with: ``` checking whether to build Bitcoin Core GUI... yes (Qt5) configure: error: only libbitcoinconsensus can be built without boost ``` For anyone wondering why the check comes after the AX_BOOST_BASE check, see this [comment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11806#discussion_r155359394). "the AX_BOOST_BASE macro that does the --with-boost handling (along with the actual checks), and sets "want_boost". " Fixes #10826, replaces #11806. @theuni if you re-ACK we can get this merged.
