Bug #14294
‘boost::filesystem::path’ has no member named ‘native’ when trying to build novasoft with art2/root6

Description
Beginning conversion of novasoft to art2/root6 (specifically, I setup nutools v2_02_00), the first module I try to build, after running fix_headers_art.pl fails with this message

The version of boost setup is v1_61_0. Is DEFINE_ART_MODULE still what we should be using?

I'm suspecting some kind of version skew on our side, but if I build with VERBOSE=1 make I see -I/grid/fermiapp/products/nova/externals/boost/v1_61_0/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e10-debug/include and no other mentions of boost, and looking in /grid/fermiapp/products/nova/externals/boost/v1_61_0/Linux64bit+2.6-2.12-e10-debug/include/boost/filesystem/path.hpp the native() function is indeed in there.
Hmm, fiddling with the order of the options so that that -I comes much earlier seems to have fixed it. strace indicates that without that we wind up finding the boost headers from /usr/include/
So, fixed (if you count adding boost lines to all our makefiles "fixed"). But, colour me puzzled.

Hi Chris, do you confirm, then, that this is not a bug in art, but it is a build-system issue?

For those following along at home I finally solved it.
Our Makefiles have -I$(CPP0X_INC) -I$(BOOST_INC), and $CPP0X_INC doesn't exist anymore. So actually we were never searching for the boost headers in the right place. It's kind of sad that there's a fallback to the system headers instead of an actual failure, but I don't know what we can do about that. Maybe a #error if some boost preprocessor variable indicates we have a very old version?

After discussion, we conclude that this is an error in the build system and not art.
