NFD » ndn-cxx

Did you mean "Android" platform? If so, the problem could in the way you compiled boost libraries or with some flags you use for library configuration.

You may be interested to check out Issue #1988 and NFD on Android wiki

Odroid is a single board computer (similiar to the Intel Edison, Beagle Board, etc...) that runs a custom version of ubuntu, fedora, or debian. It has the capability of running Android as well, however I am working with Ubuntu 14.04

admin@cv:/software/ndn-cpp$ uname -a
Linux xxx.xx.com 3.10.63 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 2 02:11:39 BRST 2015 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

Oh.. I didn't know about that one.

If it is Ubuntu, then there shouldn't be any problem... You can check for more detailed error in config.log.

In a virtual machine for Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit, I installed boost with:

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

I was able to build ndn-cpp with boost Regex.

How did you install boost on your system? Can you try libboost-all-dev?

libboos-all-dev is installed

./configure

checking for std::function... yes
checking for boost::function... yes
checking for boostlib >= 1.48... yes
checking whether the Boost::Regex library is available... yes

The config.log

#define HAVE_BOOST_REGEX /**/

configure: exit 1

On the Odriod I had to install boost libs as follows

Download the latest (currently boost 1.57)
unpack, build, and install.

cd boost_1_57_0/
./bootstrap.sh  --with-libraries=all
sudo ./b2 install

Once complete, move on to ndn-cxx installation

cd ndn-cxx/
./waf configure
./waf -j1
sudo ./waf install

Do these steps solve the problem of installing on the Odroid? Do you think we should add a note to the INSTALL file?

Yes these steps should be added to the wiki/install file to build ndn-cxx on an odroid-xu3 running ubuntu 14.04.
