hope this can get accepted

There is an error with the luabind source zip file. The sha should be corrected to the current one : '8b073335a8e6e19acc2bdb7d5b22dc9cc36a3090'.

Otherwise successfully installed.

This doesn't set the prefix anywhere; where does it install to? Directly into /usr/local?

[emiltin]

it's a library without binaries. is the correct behaviour to install to /usr/local?
the cookbook states that keg_only is for libs that "does not need to be linked for public use in /usr/local", but i assume this is not the case, since it will be for public use.

[emiltin]

i can confirm the sha1 needs to be 8b073335a8e6e19acc2bdb7d5b22dc9cc36a3090, as stated above by limoges.

i upgraded all my brews today, but luabind fails to build:

not sure what's causing this?

[mistydemeo]

@adamv You're right, it's installing right into /usr/local.

The formula will need to be altered so that it installs into the correct prefix.

[adamv]

Closing due to no response from the submitter. At the very least this will need to specify the prefix, instead of hard-coding to /usr/local, so non-/usr/local Homebrew installs work.

It may also need to use the previous version of Boost that we package, if this doesn't work against current versions of Boost. It looks like this software hasn't been updated in quite a while, so it may have some compatibility issues.

[emiltin]

you mean setting the bjam istall location from the prefix variable? something along these lines?

  def install
    args = [
      "release",
      "install"
    ]
    if ENV.compiler == :clang
      args << "--toolset=clang"
    elsif ENV.compiler == :llvm
      args << "--toolset=llvm"
    elsif ENV.compiler == :gcc
      args << "--toolset=darwin"
    end
    args << "--prefix=#{prefix}"    # set prefix
    system "bjam", *args
  end

[emiltin]

it builds ok with the latest boost 1.52 (and the two patches included in the PR)

[DennisOSRM]

Updated the formula according to your suggestions.
