Getting Boost 1.68 working on Ubuntu 18.04
14,159
By installing libboost1.68
you only install Boost library files. Header files are at libboost1.68-dev
:
sudo apt install libboost1.68-dev

I want to use Boost 1.68 on Ubuntu 18.04. I noticed the Boost/libboost package available on Ubuntu is only 1.65, so I found a resource that suggested the following:
sudo apt-get remove libboost-all-dev sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mhier/libboost-latest sudo apt update sudo apt install libboost1.68
However, after running this I no longer have the boost include files in my
/usr/include
directory. If I dosudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
, it seems I can only add 1.65.1Is there a way I can get boost and the include files from 1.68 to run on Ubuntu 18.04?
I'm still relatively new to Linux/ubuntu so perhaps I'm overlooking something simple? Thanks for your assistance.
