#1775: Add Boost to ET
Reporter: Erik Schnetter
Status: new
Milestone:
Version: development version
Type: enhancement
Priority: minor
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn
Comment (by Roland Haas):
Boost is getting inconveniently large. Version 1.90 clocks in at 202MB compressed. Version 1.86 is about 140MB (so I don't like that trajectory).
FUKA requires boost with ptree (property tree library) which has been present since forever (well boost 1.35-rc1) so any version that compiles will do. Version 1.55 currently in David's Boost thorn no longer compiles with modern gcc (implicit function declaration is now an error by default).
So there is a question of how modern a Boost we want to provide and how much disk space and download time (and complaints about ballooning size and "useless" code) we are willing to accept.

Comment (by Roland Haas):
Looking at this carefully, the only reason for this song and dance is to create a file with the list of object files in it. However for the last 14 years GNU make has had a `file` function
```
fca11f60 - Create a new function $(file ...) (14 years ago) <Paul Smith>
```
that does just that (https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/File-Function.html):
> The file function allows the makefile to write to or read from a file.
which is intended for exactly this use (from the example in the docs):
```
program: $(OBJECTS)
$(file >$@.in,$^)
$(CMD) $(CMDFLAGS) @$@.in
@rm $@.in
```
I have updated the pull request to use this function which avoids the various case distinctions and warnings written to screen.
