Scripts to build boost conan packages

Conan Boost

This repository contains the conan receipe that is used to build the boost packages at rgpaul bintray.

For Infos about Boost please visit www.boost.org.
The library is licensed under the Boost Software License.

Compiling Boost is kinda complicated. So I wrote the build scripts and the conan scripts seperately. The build-boost scripts will output a zip file containing the libraries. The upload-conan scripts will unzip the corresponding zip file, package it using the conanfile.py and upload them to a conan repository.

Build Scripts

For building the following scripts can be used.

Android

This script utilizes a fork of moritz-wundke Boost-for-Android.

Precompiled binaries for Android can also be downloaded from Github.

For building from a macOS / Linux Host, there is a bash script. Building from a Windows Host is not supported. The environmental ANDROID_NDK_PATH must be set to the path of the ndk.

Example:

ANDROID_NDK_PATH='/opt/android-ndks/android-ndk-r17b' ./build-boost-android.sh

Requirements

• Android NDK

Debian 9 (Stretch)

For building Boost for Debian, execute the build-boost-debian-stretch.sh script.

Requirements

• build-essential, curl, git, unzip and zip (apt-get install build-essential curl git unzip zip)

iOS

This script utilizes a fork of faithfracture Apple-Boost-BuildScript.

For building the iOS Libraries, execute build-boost-ios.sh.

Requirements

• Apple Xcode

macOS

This script utilizes a fork of faithfracture Apple-Boost-BuildScript.

For building the macOS Libraries, execute build-boost-macos.sh

Requirements

• Apple Xcode

Windows 10

There is a build-boost-win10.ps1 script, but I couldn't get it working. Feel free to make it work and create a pull request please. :)

I will describe my procedure of building boost in the file build-boost-win10.md, until I may got a working version of the script.

Requirements

• Visual Studio 2017
• Powershell 5

Upload Conan Scripts

Android

To create a conan package for Android there must be a corresponding zip archive in the builds folder for that version and NDK. The file must be name in the following structure:
boost-android-[ndk]-[arch]-[version].zip for example: builds/1.70.0/boost-android-r20-arm64-v8a-1.70.0.zip

For the debug version there must be a debug before the [version]:
boost-android-[ndk]-[arch]-debug-[version].zip for example: builds/1.70.0/boost-android-r20-arm64-v8a-debug-1.70.0.zip

After adjusting the settings in upload-conan-android.sh this script will create the conan packages.

iOS

To create a conan package for iOS there must be a corresponding zip archive in the builds folder for that version and SDK. The file must be name in the following structure:
boost-ios-sdk[sdk]-[version].zip for example: builds/1.70.0/boost-ios-sdk12.4-1.70.0.zip

For the debug version there must be a debug before the [version]:
boost-ios-sdk[sdk]-debug-[version].zip for example: builds/1.70.0/boost-ios-sdk12.4-debug-1.70.0.zip

After adjusting the settings in upload-conan-ios.sh this script will create the conan packages.
