Ubuntu 16.10 - build source - libboost version

[aurigae]

Which libboost version are currently supported/working?

trying to build on ubuntu 16.10 with libboost 1.61 but failing somehow, expecting libbost to be the issue.

Failing in what way? What is the console output?

boost 1.61.0 should work as that is what the official binaries are built with.

hi achow101,

i made a stackexchange question of it with all the outputs.
Just switched the OS as i havent found a solution in a reasonable amount of time.

You are building vertcoin, not Bitcoin. Vertcoin has not pulled in the changes that Bitcoin Core has made. It still uses boost 1.37, read their build docs: https://github.com/vertcoin/vertcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md

Thanks for your help, recognized that boost 1.37 vertcoin issue meanwhile.
