After the latest updates, I have tried to compile digikam-4.14.0 using slackbuilds

I have the following compile errors :
Generating slideshowsettingswidget.moc
usr/include/boost/type_traits/detail/has_prefix_operator.hp:46: Parse error at "BOOST_JOIN"

However if I replace
boost-1.63.0-x86_64-1.txz
by
boost-1.59.0-x86_64-1.txz
the compilation is ok

Is there a patch to compile digikam with the boost latest version ?

Thanks for any information

Arch is using digikam-5.4.0. Can you try updating it to see if the problem is resolved? Also be sure to let the maintainer know if he doesn't see this thread.

i saw it

I'm not sure about patching digikam 4 with latest boost (not yet tried) since upstream now focused on digiKam 5. They will no longer give support to digiKam 4.

i do have a working digiKam5 SlackBuild outside SBo (it's on my personal SlackHacks repository) but you will need to install KDE Framework 5 and libkipi5 from my SlackHacks or from AlienBOB's KDE 5 packages.

I have installed :
- libkipi-16.08.3-x86_64-1alien.txz
- frameworkintegration-5.28.0-x86_64-1alien.txz

I dont know if these versions are the good ones

I have tried to install digikam-5.4.0 but
this release requires also qt5, ecm... and perhaps a lot of other packages

So I prefer to stay with official slackware 14.2 distribution and slackbuilds

yes, like i said, it requires KDE 5 which in turns requires Qt5.

If you prefer to stay with 14.2, you will not move on to current and upgrade your boost

I have seen on internet some other packages have a similar problem.

So I have dapated the solution do digikam.

In /usr/include/boost/type_traits/detail I have added
#ifndef Q_MOC_RUN at begining and
#endif" at end of file to
has_prefix_operator.hpp and has_postfix_operator.hpp
