I'm trying to build the Boost libraries (version 1_78_0) on a virtual Centos 7 machine, using gcc/g++ 8.3.1. I've installed the usual development tools to build the libraries but continually get the error message below when running ./bootstrap.sh:
Too many input files
Compilation terminated
Can anyone suggest a way round this?
[root@flametreeapidev boost_1_78_0]# ./bootstrap.sh
Building B2 engine..
