Documentation

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)

And sets:

 HAVE_BOOST
