[Bug 508228] [NEW] miro doesn't build on lucid due to boost dependency changes

[Bryce Harrington]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: miro

I took the karmic package of miro, did a no-change rebuild for lucid in a ppa, and found it fails to build:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37943965/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-amd64.miro_2.5.3-1ubuntu2~bryce_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

The failure is:
Using boost_python-mt
...
gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -g -O2 -g -Wall -O2 -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.6 -c /build/buildd/miro-2.5.3/portable/fasttypes.cpp -o /build/buildd/miro-2.5.3/./build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/build/buildd/miro-2.5.3/portable/fasttypes.o
cc1plus: warning: command line option "-Wstrict-prototypes" is valid for Ada/C/ObjC but not for C++
g++ -pthread -shared -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,--as-needed -g -O2 -g -Wall -O2 /build/buildd/miro-2.5.3/./build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/build/buildd/miro-2.5.3/portable/fasttypes.o -lboost_python-mt -o /build/buildd/miro-2.5.3/./build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6/miro/fasttypes.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_python-mt

This is due to a change in how the boost-python stuff is now packaged in lucid, which is different than karmic.
<crimsun> libboost-python1.40-dev: /usr/lib/libboost_python-mt-py26.a
 libboost-python1.40-dev: /usr/lib/libboost_python-mt-py26.so
<slangasek> the package needs to change the way it looks for libboost-python - see the above name change
<slangasek> libboost_python-mt-py26, not libboost_python-mt

<slangasek> the python ABI version has to be specified as part of the
linker line now
