[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#739807: FTBFS: error: 'uintptr_t' was not declared in this scope

[Dejan Latinovic]

Hello,

I was getting the same error with libpwiz packge.

> checking for boost/system/error_code.hpp... yes
> checking for the Boost system library... yes

> make: *** [build-arch-stamp] Error 1

Tail from config.log:

After I built boost1.54 with patch from
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/84950,
I was able to build libpwiz successfully.
