Roscpp won't compile on Arch Linux because it expects Boost 1.61 or above and fails to recgonize my Boost 1.72.0 version. #1880
Description
I am currently trying to build Ros on Arch Linux through yay/aur as documented here. When yay gets to roscpp, however, the build fails with the following error (happens about a half hour after starting the command to install the full desktop package set):
-- Found Boost: /usr/lib64/cmake/Boost-1.72.0/BoostConfig.cmake (found version "1.72.0") found components: chrono filesystem system
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:30 (message):
roscpp requires Boost 1.61 or above.
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
error: target not found: ros-melodic-roslint

error: target not found: ignition-tools
It looks like whatever version check is being used can't work correctly with Boost 1.72.0 for some reason.
