Arch Linux

The latest version throw this error:

any suggestion?

There is a newer release available but it doesn't build with current `PKBGUILD`

Quickfix is still under development, this package is out of date. The most recent can be found on Github: https://github.com/quickfix/quickfix

If you are interesting in quickfix, you can try fix8.

Fixed libboost_system and added python2 bindings. If someone can implement a better python2 installation with setup.py and without the manual .so linking I'm ready to incorporate the patch.

The problem is from the quickfix project. I've added CXXFLAGS += -lboost_system to the Makefile.ams. This makes it work. I've sent a message to fix this to the quickfix creator, but I don't expect any response.

Any news on how to fix this problem with the libboost_system ?

Current PKGBUILD fails to build because make scripts cannot find libboost_system, so I added an extremely dirty hack to my PKGBUILD after ./configure line:

find . -name Makefile | xargs -l sed 's/-lpthread/-lpthread -lboost_system/' -i

GCC and make are from base-devel, so you can omit them from makedepends.

boost is required for makedepends and boost-libs for depends.

include the src/sql/* and test/* directories in the package as well please

Makes sense. Done. Thanks for the feedback.
