OpenWrt Version

SNAPSHOT

OpenWrt Target/Subtarget

bcm27xx/bcm2711

Steps to Reproduce

dnsdist fails to build on my machine due to missing boost headers:

checking whether strerror_r returns char *... yes
checking for Boost headers version >= 1.54.0... no
configure: error: cannot find Boost headers version >= 1.54.0
make[2]: *** [Makefile:173: /home/cschuette/openwrt/bcm2711-snapshot/openwrt/build_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a72_glibc/dnsdist-full/dnsdist-2.0.1/.configured_6ba82834d267f734edb119af3ee1e292] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/cschuette/openwrt/bcm2711-snapshot/openwrt/feeds/packages/net/dnsdist'

    ERROR: package/feeds/packages/dnsdist failed to build (build variant: full).

make: *** [/home/cschuette/openwrt/bcm2711-snapshot/openwrt/include/toplevel.mk:233: package/feeds/packages/dnsdist/compile] Error 2

Installing latest libboost-dev to the build host solved this, but leads to a different error:

So, there seems to be something wrong with the dependencies.

Actual Behaviour

Build fails.

Confirmation Checklist

• The package is maintained in this repository.
• I understand that issues related to the base OpenWrt repository or LuCI repository will be closed.
• I am reporting an issue for OpenWrt, not an unsupported fork.

Inspect feeds/packages/net/dnsdist and its Makefile, starting with the package dependency declarations and configure invocation. Reproduce the full dnsdist build for bcm27xx/bcm2711 and compare the Boost-header failure with the later C++ compilation error. Done means the full variant builds without either reported failure.
