Question

I found a very strange bug with Firebreath today. I was trying to compile my project, doing a make over my build directory. I got a huge output with a lot errors. I tried running a new project from the scratch and I got these errors:

alucard@hell ~/Documentos/sc/build
> make
[  1%] Built target FireBreath_Cmake
[  2%] Building CXX object boost/libs/thread/CMakeFiles/boost_thread.dir/src/tss_null.cpp.o

make[1]:  [boost/libs/thread/CMakeFiles/boost_thread.dir/all] Error 2
make:  [all] Error 2

Seems a problem with my system, but if I try the following example, I don’t get any error:

#include <boost/thread.hpp>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    return 0;
}

Compile with: g++ test.cpp -pthread -lboost_thread.

Any idea?

To solve my problem, I had to do two things:

1. Applied this patch to my libstdcpp3.hpp file located in src/3rdParty/boost/boost/config/stdlib.
2. Delete my build directory and rerun the prepmake.sh.

Thanks to @taxilian again for the fast and useful answer.
