As of 2009-06-13, aptitude uses Boost. Boost is a large collection of
|
||
|
|
modern C++ libraries providing various utility code and algorithms; it
|
||
|
|
should be available from the repositories of any modern Linux
|
||
|
|
distribution, or from its home page at <http://www.boost.org>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The configure test for Boost attempts to verify that the correct
|
||
|
|
version is installed by probing each header file that aptitude uses.
|
||
|
|
However, it does not check that the header files provide the expected
|
||
|
|
functionality; it is conceivable (though unlikely) that some versions
|
||
|
|
of Boost would pass the configure check and fail at compile time.
|
||
|
|
Running "make check" will verify that the set of headers mentioned in
|
||
|
|
the configure script is exactly the same as the set of headers
|
||
|
|
included from the source code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of 2009-06-13, aptitude is known to compile and run successfully
|
||
|
|
against the Debian package of Boost 1.38.1.
