Description
When building Mesos 1.5.x, I noticed my local build failing with;
../../../3rdparty/libprocess/../stout/include/stout/json.hpp:270:7: error: no matching constructor for initialization of 'internal::Variant' (aka 'variant<boost::recursive_wrapper<Null>, boost::recursive_wrapper<String>, boost::recursive_wrapper<Number>, boost::recursive_wrapper<Object>, boost::recursive_wrapper<Array>, boost::recursive_wrapper<Boolean> >')
: internal::Variant(value) {}
^ ~~~~~
Used setup:
../configure --enable-ssl --enable-libevent --disable-optimize --enable-debug --disable-java --disable-python --disable-werror
It turned out that I had a more recent boost version installed on my system and instead of using the bundled variant, the autotools build preferred my installed version, leading to the above error. The installed version was in /usr/local/include. After removing the installed variant, the build continued, avoiding the error.
We should try to make sure bundled dependencies are generally preferred over installed variants.
