#4 configure check fails on boost transform_width.hpp header

[Hanspeter Niederstrasser]

On OS X 10.9, librevenge fails to pass ./configure when looking for one of the boost headers:

checking for Darwin (Mac OS X) platform... yes
checking for boost/algorithm/string.hpp... yes
checking for boost/archive/iterators/base64_from_binary.hpp... yes
checking for boost/archive/iterators/binary_from_base64.hpp... yes
checking for boost/archive/iterators/remove_whitespace.hpp... yes
checking for boost/archive/iterators/transform_width.hpp... no
configure: error: Required boost headers not found.

Looking into config.log, here's the output:

configure:16425: checking for boost/archive/iterators/transform_width.hpp
configure:16425: g++ -c -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -Wshadow -Wunused-variable -I/sw/opt/boost-1_55/include -I/sw/include conftest.cpp >&5

I am using boost-1.55.0, Apple-clang 6.0 (llvm3.5-svn), and on OS X 10.9+ libc++ is the standard C++ library.

It looks like it's a problem with boost itself: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9421
Sorry about the noise.

[David Tardon]

No problem.
