looking for boost…

[Tim Larson <telrsn%gmail.com@localhost>]

So I'm back after a long absence and trying to update a few packages, 
includes games/alephone. Jumping it ahead 10+ years to the 20230119 release…

configure:9321: checking for boostlib >= 1.65.0 (106500)
configure:9353: c++ -std=gnu++17 -c -O2 -fPIC -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 
-I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include/SDL 
-I/usr/X11R7/include -I/usr/X11R7/include/libdrm -I/usr/pkg/include 
-I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include/SDL -I/usr/X11R7/include 
-I/usr/X11R7/include/libdrm -I/usr/pkg/include  conftest.cpp >&5
configure:9353: $? = 0
configure:9356: result: yes
configure:9550: checking whether the Boost::System library is available
configure:9576: c++ -std=gnu++17 -c  -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include 
-I/usr/pkg/include/SDL -I/usr/X11R7/include -I/usr/X11R7/include/libdrm 
-I/usr/pkg/include  conftest.cpp >&5
configure:9576: $? = 0
configure:9592: result: yes
configure:9751: error: Could not find a version of the Boost::System 
library!

Yet…

/usr/pkg/lib/libboost_system.a
/usr/pkg/lib/libboost_system.so@
/usr/pkg/lib/libboost_system.so.1.81.0*

Some searching online shows this error usually being caused by the 
loader search path being wrong. Checked that. It's definitely looking 
there for it…

1871-INSTALL_SCRIPT='/usr/bin/install -c -o root -g wheel -m 755'
1872-INSTALL_STRIP_PROGRAM='$(install_sh) -c -s'
1873:LDFLAGS='-Wl,-zrelro -L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/lib 
-Wl,-R/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R7/lib -Wl,-R/usr/X11R7/lib '
1874-LIBOBJS=''
1875-LIBS=''

I don't want to spin my wheels is this is a known issue currently with a 
workaround.

Thanks,
