34 # The first macro is BOOST_REQUIRE. It will simply check if it's possible to

36 # define BOOST_CPPFLAGS accordingly. It will add an option --with-boost to
37 # your configure so that users can specify non standard locations.
38 # If the user's environment contains BOOST_ROOT and --with-boost was not
39 # specified, --with-boost=$BOOST_ROOT is implicitly used.

267 dnl Optimization hacks: compiling C++ is slow, especially with Boost. What
268 dnl we're trying to do here is guess the right combination of link flags
269 dnl (LIBS / LDFLAGS) to use a given library. This can take several
270 dnl iterations before it succeeds and is thus *very* slow. So what we do
271 dnl instead is that we compile the code first (and thus get an object file,
272 dnl typically conftest.o). Then we try various combinations of link flags
273 dnl until we succeed to link conftest.o in an executable. The problem is
274 dnl that the various TRY_LINK / COMPILE_IFELSE macros of Autoconf always
275 dnl remove all the temporary files including conftest.o. So the trick here
276 dnl is to temporarily change the value of ac_objext so that conftest.o is
277 dnl preserved accross tests. This is obviously fragile and I will burn in
