Hello OpenStudio Team:

I have recently compiled OpenStudio 1.11.4 in Ubuntu 14.04. I build the python bindings. The program and the 'py bind' are working perfectly.

I have decided to probe OpenStudio 1.4.0 Long Term Support, because I need OpenStudio linked to QT4.

Initially I had a problem with Ruby, but I can resolved it installing ruby-dev(https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/issues/1260).

Now I have other problem with libboost:

# error Compiling Filesystem version 3 file with BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION defined != 3

and later

error: ‘external_string_type’ is not a member of ‘boost::filesystem::wpath {aka boost::filesystem::path}’

This problem happens with Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04 and 16.04, building Boost (1.47) or not.

I have working around (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/...) but it does not make sense.

Please, has recently anybody built OpenStudio 1.4.0-LTS in a linux environment successfully?

Thanks
