[Bug 479180] Re: libboost1.40-dev doesn't provide pkg-config (.pc) files

[Adam J Richardson]

** Description changed:

  I can't find any pkg-config files for Boost in $PKG_CONFIG_PATH. It
  would be great if the package maintainers could provide some. If
  maintainer time is a problem, I'm prepared to have a stab at making some
  up myself (gulp).
  
  I know this issue has been discussed now and then on the Boost mailing
  list (since 2005?), but it seems to me the conclusion was basically
  "it's up to the package maintainer".
  
  I think this is a bug rather than a feature request, apologies if I'm
  wrong. But it does make Boost tough to use in a crossplatform
  environment.
  
  Environment:
  arichardson at vostro-1:~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 9.10
  Release:	9.10
  
  arichardson at vostro-1:~$ apt-cache policy libboost1.40-dev
