New comment by daniel-eys on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/12761#issuecomment-507062714 Comment: Adding boost-python3-1.69 to {host,}makedepends is not necessary, boost-devel is enough, the shlib itself is auto-detected by xbps. `--with-boost-python=boost_python36` needs to be set explicitly, otherwise it picks up python27: ``` Boost libraries: boost.python: -lboost_python27 ```
