make depends boost invalid download url link about lbrycrd HOT 8 CLOSED

Changing the download path in boost.mk to https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.69.0/source/ does allow the build script to continue to completion. Not sure if that solves the original issue since nnmfnwl7 didn't report a 403 error, but I don't think it's a coincidence.

I'll fix this on master soon. Thanks for your patience while I've been working on my PhD and the corresponding lbcd implementation.

I'm a little confused by this, as that bitcoincore link is not what's in the file for any of the primary branches:

It looks like you must be hitting the FALLBACK_DOWNLOAD_PATH in the depends/Makefile. I'm not sure what causes that. If you go into the depends folder (via cd) and run something like make -j8 NO_QT=1, does it use the right URL in that situation?

I was hoping to start contributing to LBRY, but this issue is preventing me from building. I guess I'll start by looking into this issue.

Running ./packaging/build_linux_64bit.sh' from the root directory or make NO_QT=1` from the depends folder both end in failure.

I get 403 on the link today as well. Notice that bitcoin changed their server six months ago: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blame/master/depends/packages/boost.mk . This should not hold you up on compilation, though. Change the link in depends/packages/boost.mk . Or use a local installation of boost. Any serious work on lbrycrd would probably be done with local dependencies rather than using "depends", perhaps in a Docker environment.

You should coordinate any work on lbrycrd with LBRY through chat. Get in the Slack or Discord groups and discuss plans.

I faced the same issue with building with Docker so I changed the download path in boost.mk to the link above you wrote and it seems to work now. I also see on Travis that the latest on master gives the same output as I get (see output below): https://travis-ci.org/github/lbryio/lbrycrd/jobs/769376859

@BrannonKing I made a PR to fix it so you don't have to, if the link is 100% valid that is. #410
