[Inkscape-devel] Increasing Boost version for py2geom

Hello all,

While trying to build py2geom, I run into problems because the version of Boost that we use (1.34) does not support our compiler's version (gcc 4.4.1). Not being able to build py2geom is not a huge problem for Inkscape, but it is a big disappointment.

I read that Boost 1.37+ does support gcc 4.4.0. Boost 1.34 was released in 2007. Boost 1.37 at the end of 2008. Is that too recent for us to be able to use it?

Increasing the version of Boost for Windows is not a big problem, since we have our devlibs. For Linux, I do not know the issues involved.

Thanks, Johan
