install boost with configure

[Yingjie848]

When I run ./configure, everything goes well, until this error jump out, I tried many things, but still not working:

--with-boost=$BOOST_PATH
--with-boost-libdir=$BOOST_PATH
set BOOST_ROOT

I appreciate if anyone can solve this problem!

checking for boostlib >= 1.50 (105000)... yes
checking whether the Boost::Unit_Test_Framework library is available... yes
configure: error: Could not find a version of the Boost::Unit_Test_Framework library!

It finds boost, but not a version of the Boost::Unit_Test_Framework library

What version of boost do you have installed?

In the past i have found that boost versions are not always backwards compatible. So a newer version of boost may not work for you.

I recommend trying to install the oldest acceptable version of boost (1.50?) or another version that is known to work. I usually use miniconda to install older versions of boost.

I am using latest version boost 1.79, I will try a older version instead. When I use "cmake ./", it installed successfully, it runs well now, but I don't know if it still uses boost.

You could run the tests, but I don't think this code comes with tests?

Good luck!
