mkvtoolnix-legacy is broken on legacy systems

[barracuda156]

Perhaps if no testing was possible, older systems should have been kept at version which actually built. Now the port is broken: it fails even to configure.

On buildbots po4a is broken, so it does not reach to trying to install the port itself: ​https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.8_x86_64-builder/builds/170359/steps/install-dependencies/logs/dependencies

16. S. For the reference, mkvtoolnix @41.0.0 was building fine.

Again I don't think 10.5 was ever supported because it never supported qt5. For 10.8-10.6, if the multiprecision library is the only problem then falling back one more version to v57 should work, since v58 introduced the requirement.

Is your configure log from 10.8? If it has boost 1.76 it should have boost/multiprecision/cpp_int.hpp.

I do not have 10.8 at hand, the log is from 10.6.

I will look into multiprecision, I was not aware Boost lacks something on ppc. And I can try v57, if indeed Boost does not have that lib and it cannot be built on 32-bit.

UPD. It does have multiprecision.

Ok, this is a bug in Boost, which was fixed in 1.81.

Is it okay to switch to Boost 1.81? If not, then I need to backport a fix into 1.76.

[i0ntempest]

I don't think there's an upper limit for boost version, but v58 being released before boost 1.81 may not be compatible. You can try.

Boost 1.81 works fine.

(I got a build conflict with chai port, but I think I rather change install path for chai headers.)
