Hello,
libpath = ['/usr/lib/']Two thing: 1.) Why is this not in hosted.py which for me was the first place to search for this.
I don't think there is any reason for this being there. I would guess it stayed there from the beginning of xpcc.
2.) As far as I understand or at least with my system (Fedora 20) /usr/lib contains 32bit, while /usr/lib64 contains 64bit libraries. Since we want to build for the host architecture, the correct path for 64bit systems would be /usr/lib64
The second point should be easily fixed by just not setting the library path. Either /usr/lib64 or /usr/lib will be set as an environment variable depending on the system. I do not understand why we had to manually set this in the first place.
I don't know. Maybe it can just be deleted.
So maybe newer distributions won't include it anymore. Would it be ok if I changed this to _boost_thread_ without the **-mt**?
The problem was that not everyone had both versions. I think it is the way it is because this way it worked for most. Here (Ubuntu 12.04) I have both versions of the library.
Cheers, Fabian
