Test for the Boost C++ libraries of a particular version (or newer)
If no path to the installed boost library is given the macro
searchs under /usr, /usr/local, and /opt, and evaluates the
$BOOST_ROOT environment variable. Further documentation is
available at <http://randspringer.de/boost/index.html>.
This macro calls:
AC_SUBST(BOOST_CPPFLAGS) / AC_SUBST(BOOST_LDFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(BOOST_FILESYSTEM_LIB)
AC_SUBST(BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIB)
AC_SUBST(BOOST_THREAD_LIB)
AC_SUBST(BOOST_IOSTREAMS_LIB)
AC_SUBST(BOOST_SERIALIZATION_LIB)
AC_SUBST(BOOST_WSERIALIZATION_LIB)
AC_SUBST(BOOST_SIGNALS_LIB)
AC_SUBST(BOOST_DATE_TIME_LIB)
AC_SUBST(BOOST_REGEX_LIB)
AC_SUBST(BOOST_UNIT_TEST_FRAMEWORK_LIB)
And sets:
HAVE_BOOST
HAVE_BOOST_FILESYSTEM
HAVE_BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS
HAVE_BOOST_THREAD
HAVE_BOOST_IOSTREAMS
HAVE_BOOST_SERIALIZATION
HAVE_BOOST_SIGNALS
HAVE_BOOST_DATE_TIME
