Build fails with non-standard boost location

[Kevin Martin]

Hi,

I'm trying to build gearmand-0.28 with a non-standard location for boost on Debian 6. (No boost libraries are installed with the package manager). It is boost 1.48 and I can supply the commands used to build it if necessary for you to replicate the problem.

I can successfully run the configure script with the --with-boost option and the configure script detects the headers/libraries. However, when running make I get numerous build errors relating to being unable to find the boost header files and libraries. I have traced this to the non standard locations not being passed on the command line.

I have spent the afternoon faffing with the include.am files to get it to a point where it builds (patch below), but I really don't know what I'm doing with automake, so it's not a fix. However, it should give you a clue as to what needs fixing.

Thanks,
Kevin
