And I need both...

I just created an 
	rforge/boostheaders/BoostHeadersROOT/src/Makevars

with 

	OBJECTS=\
	../inst/include/libs/system/src/error_code.o \
	[...]
	../inst/include/libs/regex/src/regex.o \
	../inst/include/libs/regex/src/wide_posix_api.o \
	[...]

	PKG_CPPFLAGS=-I ../inst/include

and upon R CMD INSTALL BH I got an
/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/BH/libs/BH.so

So far I got away without any need for configure.
The mzR package then uses PKG_LDFLAGS to link th BH.so into mzR.so

My main problem at the moment is to get all boost headers
required for mzR into BH without copying *all* of boost,
which I do with a very ugly 

	system  (paste('find /vol/R/BioC/devel-29/mzR/src/pwiz -type f ',
            '-exec bcp --scan --boost=', boostroot,
            ' {}  ', 
            pkgdir, '/inst/include \\; >> bcp.log ', sep=''))

That'd need a bit of streamlining. My work-in-progress can be found at 

	https://github.com/sneumann/mzR/tree/BH
and	https://github.com/sneumann/boostheaders

Caveat, the boostheaders will create a BH with 1.43.0,
because the current mzR / pwiz code won't work with 1.51.0 ...

What do you think ?

Yours,
Steffen
