Hello: I have a 7.1-RELEASE box (under a VM) with the boost-1.38_beta2 building happily using the current port infrastructure, i.e. the current port of boost completely builds out of the box with the only some minor changes and some added options to the port Makefile (adding EXPAT, perhaps making ---without-mpi the default option to bjam unless specified etc. etc.). I have not tested it yet other than rudimentary compilation. There is a testbed boost runs which I rather do but need to find hardware and cycles. Any reason why this port has not been updated? Will it break other things relying on it? I do have one question which is why this port did away with the boost naming conventions for libraries? i.e. there is a current patch to remove the default suffix's like "-mt" when building multithreaded. This prevents building two concurrent versions on a system. Thanks! -aps
