Bundled boost and scons
Hi all, Is there a possibility to suppress the usage of bundled scons and boost and use the ones installed on the system? This has two reasons: first, I always like to not use bundled things if they are not heavily modified versions. Second,and that is more important in the moment. The bundled boost which I think is 1.39 has problems with >=python-2.6.3 [1]. So I'd like to use the installed boost-1.40 where the problem is already fixed by boost upstreams.

Hi Justin,

scons yes (but you'd have to be careful; see libtbx/command_line/scons.py), boot no, because it would be too much work.

I think boost-1.40 still doesn't work. You'd need the 1.41 release (not yet released). But the problem is fixed in the latest cctbx bundle (2009_11_01_0123). BTW: The cctbx bundles are (almost) always built against the current boost svn trunk. I've never used releases. This has been working well for almost nine years now. Ralf
