configure: error: Boost Regex 1.76 or higher not found.

[Hmligato]

Hi!

I'm trying to compile filezilla but came accross this error message: configure: error: Boost Regex 1.76 or higher not found.

I've tried to add the following flags to indicate the headers folder but without any success:
- LDFLAGS="-L/opt/boost/lib" OR CLFAGS "-I/home/boost_v1.85/boost"

Could someone help me by describing precisely what is needed and where it should be?

(P.S PLEASE: No answer like "you need to include headers", I've understand that the headers of boost are missing. Unfortunately the two others post on this forum covering this topic are just answering the question by "the headers are missing/include the headers". I'd like to have comprehensive/complete answer saying: You need those file, at this place, using this command, specifying the path using this command. So nobody else would have to ask this question again)


Kind Regards

CLFAGS "-I/home/boost_v1.85/boost"

The -I argument is for the preprocessor, so it should go into CPPFLAGS. Also, unless there is a another boost sub-directory within that location, remove the trailing /boost.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
CPPFLAGS="-g -O0 -I/home/boost_v18" ./configure doesn't work: configure: error: in `/filezilla-3.67.0': configure: error: Boost Regex 1.76 or higher not found.
Coping the boost folder inside the filezilla folder doesn't work neither.

Cheers.

Dears,

After some struggles here is the complete compiling workflow I followed to successfully build FileZilla on linux:

- Download dependencies: sudo apt-get install libfilezilla-dev libwxbase3.0-dev gnutls-dev libdbus-1-dev
- Download boost library: https://www.boost.org/
- Download and install libFileZilla library:https://lib.filezilla-project.org/download.php
- cd into Filezilla folder
- create and cd in a compile folder
- CPPFLAGS="-I/absolute/path/to/boost/folder" ../configure
- make
- make install

(P.S: Relative path doesn't work for boost folder, don't use ~/)

We can close this topic now
Thanks for your help botg.
