Description Jonathan Wakely 2026-06-02 09:33:27 UTC

In rawhide libboost_system.so is an empty linker script and I plan to remove it, see https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/LLMQYVEUFCEFKQNZE3IFRQZF4S2KE2BB/

This will break lunchbox:

-- Could NOT find Boost (missing: system) (found version "1.90.0")
-- Checking for module 'Boost'
--   Package 'Boost' not found
CMake Error at CMake/common/CommonFindPackage.cmake:102 (message):
  Not configured Lunchbox: Required Boost not found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:36 (common_find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!


The package should be updated to stop linking to libboost_system, because that library no longer exists in upstream Boost, and is not needed.

Reproducible: Always




Additional Information:
Test build with an updated Boost package:

Comment 1 Jaroslav Škarvada 2026-06-04 14:11:33 UTC

Please try lunchbox-1.17.0-19.fc45. I tried rm the libboost_system.so and it compiled OK.
