Is there a reason why it has to link to *that* particular library? Fedora provides other backends for libboost_stacktrace, just not that one.

Comment 2 Sandro 2023-03-27 21:59:11 UTC

Honestly, I don't know. It has been introduced in the latest release (3.0.7) in a commit titled "Add Meson/bt as alternative build and packaging system; make enum deserialisation more robust".

I'm not a developer myself. If you could list the alternatives that are available by default in Fedora, I will ask upstream if they could switch to one of those. On the other hand, is there a reason for not making *this* particular library available? Does it conflict with other options?

Comment 3 Jonathan Wakely 2023-04-11 11:41:42 UTC

$ rpm -ql boost-stacktrace | grep /usr/lib64
/usr/lib64/libboost_stacktrace_addr2line.so.1.78.0
/usr/lib64/libboost_stacktrace_basic.so.1.78.0
/usr/lib64/libboost_stacktrace_noop.so.1.78.0

Fedora does not provide libbacktrace, so Boost can't build against it.

Comment 4 Sandro 2023-04-12 01:21:20 UTC

Thanks. I forwarded that to upstream and they will be looking into a solution.
