How to include boost as the dependency?

Hi,

I’m trying to build my first Flatpak app, that requires old libboost-all-dev version.
Here is my configuration:

...
  "modules": [
      {
          "name": "boost",
          "buildsystem": "simple",
          "build-commands": [
            "./bootstrap.sh",
            "./b2"
        ],
          "sources": [
              {
                  "type": "archive",
                  "url": "https://archives.boost.io/release/1.77.0/source/boost_1_77_0.tar.gz",
                  "sha256": "5347464af5b14ac54bb945dc68f1dd7c56f0dad7262816b956138fc53bcc0131"
              }
          ]
      },
      ...

The next module in the list fails to build because it can’t find the Boost location.
What should the --with-boost= path be for this configuration?

Well, resolved with following config:

...
"modules": [
      {
          "name": "boost",
          "buildsystem": "simple",
          "build-commands": [
            "./bootstrap.sh",
            "./b2 install --prefix=/app/boost" <-- ADDED PREFIX
          ],
          "sources": [
              {
                  "type": "archive",
                  "url": "https://archives.boost.io/release/1.77.0/source/boost_1_77_0.tar.gz",
                  "sha256": "5347464af5b14ac54bb945dc68f1dd7c56f0dad7262816b956138fc53bcc0131"
              }
          ]
      },
      {
          "name": "hello",
          "buildsystem": "simple",
          "build-commands": [
              "./autotool.sh",
              "./configure --with-boost=/app/boost", <-- ADDED PATH
              "make"
          ],

You probably need to check (and maybe set) the installation prefix.

On Flatpak, the files for an app need to be installed under the /app prefix, as /usr is reserved for the runtime.

So, you need to ensure that boost is installed to /app first, and then tell your app to use it from that path.
