== Boost ==
Boost is a popular collection of C++ libraries.
 
 
The robo.fish software projects standardize on Boost version '''1.67.0''', which is assumed to be located at '''/usr/local/boost_1_67_0''' on Linux systems.
 
 
=== Build From Source ===
==== Configuration ====
The version of Boost in Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial and Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic is older than 1.67.0. Therefore you need to [https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_67_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#easy-build-and-install build Boost from source]. Make sure to supply the correct version of Python to ''bootstrap.sh''. The software projects on this website use Python 3.6 because version 3.6 is the default for the Python environment manager [https://conda.io/miniconda.html Miniconda3] and the default version of Python 3 in Ubuntu 18.04.
<pre class="terminal">
./bootstrap.sh --with-python-version=3.6m
</pre>
 
Also, on your main development system make sure that Boost is installed to the directory '''/usr/local/boost_1_67_0''' instead of the default directory ''/usr/local''. This allows you to install other versions of Boost without conflict.
<pre class="terminal">
./bootstrap.sh --with-python-version=3.6m --prefix=/usr/local/boost_1_67_0
</pre>
On Raspberry Pi, Boost is assumed to be installed in ''/usr/local''.
 
 
On an Ubuntu 16.04 based system, where you installed Python 3.6 via miniconda, edit the file '''project-config.jam''' to replace the lines
<pre class="code">
# Python configuration
import python ;
if ! [ python.configured ]
{
using python : 3.6m : <path to miniconda3> ;
}
</pre>
with
<pre class="code">
# Python configuration
using python : 3.6m : <path to miniconda3>/bin/python3 : <path to miniconda3>/include/python3.6m : <path to miniconda3>/lib ;
</pre>
where ''<path to miniconda3>'' is the absolute file path to the miniconda root directory. Otherwise the configuration file will pick up the system's default Python configuration, which is Python 2.7.
 
 
On Ubuntu 18.04, where Python 3.6 is a main package, replace the same ''if'' block with
<pre class="code">
# Python configuration
using python : 3.6m : /usr/bin/python3.6m : /usr/include/python3.6m : usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu ;
</pre>
 

==== Building ====
Use this command to install while building and to shorten the build time by running up to 4 build processes in parallel.
<pre class="terminal">
sudo ./b2 -j4 install
</pre>
 
===== Raspberry Pi =====
On Raspberry Pi, ''-j4'' can cause problems. Try with ''-j2'' or just don't use the multi-process building option. Since build times will be long, you probably want to run the build process in the background and so that it continues running after you logged out from the terminal session:
<pre class="terminal">
nohup sudo ./b2 install > /dev/null 2>&1 &
</pre>
The assumption is that there is a GUI-less Raspbian system on the Raspberry Pi. When you log in again on your RPi, you can use ''top'' to check if the build is still running. The ''b2'' command will be using most of the CPU while running.
