- Q: My distribution has a versions of Boost and/or CMake that are too
old for Ledger. How do I build my own Boost and/or CMake binaries
that will work properly with Ledger? Thereafter, how do I configure
Ledger properly to use those newly built verisons of Boost and/or
CMake?
A: Here's commands that one user used to make this work, for Boost
1.51.0 on Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.x (aka Debian squeeze). It's likely
to work ok for other versions of Boost as well. YMMV on other
distributions and/or other Debian distribution versions, though.
