I want to compile flvtool++, but it requires boost-devel libraries.

I tried to install it via this command:

sudo apt-get install boost-devel

But I got the error:

E: Unable to locate package boost-devel

Is there an other way to compile flvtool++ source or any 64-bit binaries?

  • I think you should install libboost-dev – Eric Carvalho Jul 15 '12 at 19:28
  • Debian/Ubuntu ... development packages end with a -dev extension unlike the -devel extension found in .rpm systems.Btw,you should use synaptic when you are unsure about the correct package name (or muon on qt systems). – Aleksandar Jul 15 '12 at 20:18

To develop with the Boost libraries in Ubuntu/Debian, you need to install the libboost-all-dev package:

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
