@kieto @anadon @wookietreiber I've updated based on @kieto's suggestion and it compiles for me, but as I said, I'm no longer using blast+ in my research so if anyone wants to take over/co-maintain/whatever, let me know!

I was getting compilation errors regarding Boost and so on, and as suggested by the compiler, I edited the PKGBUILD and added the flags --without-boost and --without-bdb, and I got a successful compilation (at first I only used the flag --without-boost, but I was still getting compilation errors). The modified source PKGBUILD, prepare() section, looks like this:

prepare() {
    cd $srcdir/ncbi-blast-$pkgver+-src/c++
    ./configure \
        --prefix=/usr \
        --with-dll \
        --with-mt \
        --without-gnutls \
        --without-boost \
        --without-bdb
}

@anadon I'm not going to be able to get to this for a couple of months due to other concerns (and I'm no longer using the blast+ tools in my research). If you would like to take over as manager for the package, I'll be glad to orphan it!

@nstickney NCBI is developing on a 2.7.2 branch which does work with Boost 1.66 and should be released soon. You might consider basing this off of their SVN repo here: https://anonsvn.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/repos/v1/trunk/c++

If you drop an email to NCBI, turns out their devs are really friendly and helpful.

@anadon I'm not able to download the sources to recheck, currently (seems the site is down, or something?). Were you able to diagnose/overcome the issue?

Looks like there is some bug when compiling:

@wookietreiber trying editing the PKGBUILD script, and add --disable-boost at the configuration command.

Cannot compile the new version 2.4.0 because it fails to compile with the following error:

fatal error: boost/test/unit_test_suite_impl.hpp: No such file or directory
#include <boost/test/unit_test_suite_impl.hpp>

I don't know what to make of this, because this file does not exist within boost. There is a /usr/include/boost/test/unit_test_suite.hpp but this doesn't help much. Anyone got any ideas?

@masonmlai it would also help to get your compilation logs / errors in some gist / pastebin.

I just tried to reproduce and couldn't. I have boost-libs installed - just not boost:

$ pacman -Q | grep boost
boost-libs 1.60.0-2

Compilation succeeded without problems. @masonmlai do you have package boost installed additionally to boost-libs?
