[Bioc-devel] Boost packaged on rforge

Hi Vincent,

BH currently works the way that the package sources 
(and that includes BH/inst/include/boost/*) are 
automagically created by bcp'ing the dependencies 
of *some* R packages (e.g. bigmemory on rforge).

John and Dirk et al said that people can ask 
for additional dependencies on the tracker [1].

If you want to port your package to BH 
and figure out the required dependencies,
check out svn://r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/boostheaders
and edit boostheaders/CreateBoost.R (see how I munged 
that file on [2] ...)

Then iterate over 

	cd boostheaders
	rm -rf pkg/BH  
	R --vanilla <CreateBoost.R
	R CMD INSTALL pkg/BH
	R CMD INSTALL /your/package/

until success. Unfortunately with boost, it might not 
be as straightforward as adding " graph ",
that's why I have that insane "find /my/package -exec bcp -scan"
in my hacked [2]. Also note that in a hacked version of 
CreateBoost.R it is possible to switch between boost versions.

Yours,
Steffen
