I currently have to play Freeorion from a manjaro linux computer, compiled from source. Previously I managed to make it work, however now the Boost library has upgraded to version 1.79 and that seems to have broken my previous Freeorion installation as it is looking explicitly for boost libraries with the version 1.78.
An easy fix would be to just recompile right? Problem is that that doesn't work anymore either, due to unknown reasons. Always fails when building freeorioncommon with
Code: Select all
...
[ 45%] Built target freeorioncommon
make: *** [Makefile:156: all] Error 2
I've already redownloaded the source multiple times, the issue persists
Any ideas on how to fix this? One would be to simply revert to an older version of Boost, but that seems impossible; another is to try installing a different linux distro that has precompiled binaries for weekly test builds (or windows), though I'd like to avoid that
Should I try asking in another thread? Any more information I should post?
