Boost binary forbidden (downloaded via hunter)

Question

I am trying to use cmake to compile and noticed the boost binary link is not available (forbidden). Is there a workaround to this?

relevant config:

hunter_config(CURL VERSION ${HUNTER_CURL_VERSION} CMAKE_ARGS HTTP_ONLY=ON CMAKE_USE_OPENSSL=OFF CMAKE_USE_LIBSSH2=OFF CURL_CA_PATH=none)
hunter_config(Boost VERSION 1.66.0)

Answer 1

A workaround that fixed the issue for me was to manually download boost_1_66_0.7z from https://www.boost.org/ and place it under $HOME/.hunter/_Base/Download/Boost/1.66.0/075d0b4/

this is the only way working as of now , server hosting at bintray.com is returning Forbidden! instead of files so we have to download it manually from other sources and place file into the folder – Institution

It took me some digging: boostorg.jfrog.io/ui/native/main/release/1.66.0/source – Rameses

Bintray went out of service per May 1st, 2021¹:

Thank you for supporting JFrog through your use of Bintray. We are and continue to be a community-focused company, and in the spirit of transparency we’re giving you advance notice that as of May 2021, we will be sunsetting Bintray.

Boost downloads are available here now:

https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost//2021/04/251468.php

Bintray is “sunsetting†on the 1st of May. At that time, you will be unable to download boost releases from there. Before that time, their service will be occasionally interrupted. The web site has been updated, all the download links now refer to https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/ Example: Instead of downloading from: https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.gz

You should download from: https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.gz

This applies to all releases from 1.63.0 onward (The pre-1.63 releases are still hosted at SourceForge)
