Problems during make: missing file about porosity HOT 11 OPEN

All I had to do before running make is to install boost on macOS:
brew install boost

from porosity.

Actually, upon further investigation, it seems that the whole directory "boost", needed by Porosity.h, is missing.

from porosity.

You need to have boost installed, however, the necessary boost version (> 1.58) isn't included in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, so apt-get install libboost-all-dev won't install the necessary version.

So boost will need to be installed or built from source, I added details here.

Thank you.
I followed your instructions. As a minor, you wrote "./bootstap.sh" instead of "./bootstrap.sh ".
The /b2 install went fine.

But then, from which directory do I have to run ./autogen.sh +./configure + make ?

from porosity.

I added autotools build to my branch, so the root of that repo.

from porosity.

I do not have any file called autogen.sh or configure or make in the libbost pakage. What are they referred to? Also I have checked at the installation guide provided with libbost (index.html) and there is no mention of them. I do not understand what they are.

To make a different try, I have just added a link to libbost to my porosity directory:
.....porosity-master/porosity/porosity/ln -s ~/boost_1_64_0 boost
and now, the porosity make works.

Are the ./autogen.sh +./configure + make really necessary?

They are in my branch here https://github.com/braydonf/porosity

from porosity.

Oh, I see. But they are not in the zip I downloaded.
I thought it was the same, to download the zip or the branch version -- a part from keeping updated obviously.

Is the zip package any different? Do you advise to download the branch version?

Also, I think it might be useful to mention that './autogen.sh' +'./configure' + 'make' is referred to porosity and not to boost. (here https://github.com/braydonf/porosity#debian-ubuntu-1604)

from porosity.

I noticed that the repo you mention https://github.com/braydonf/porosity is not the one we are right now https://github.com/comaeio/porosity and they contain different files.

Why are there two ? Which one is the right one?

How do I install boost on macOS?
