Bugs in boost script?

[michpaulatto]

Hello,
I have tried installing boost 1.72 on Archer 2 with the script provided (boost.sh). I had two issues:

1. The package download (the wget command) didn't work. I had to download the package separately and disable the following lines in the script:

test -e boost_$_VERSION.tar.bz2 \
  || wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/$_VERSION/boost_$_VERSION.tar.bz2 -O boost_$_VERSION.tar.bz2 \
  || fn_error "could not fetch source"
echo "$SHA256SUM  boost_$_VERSION.tar.bz2" | sha256sum --check \
  || fn_error "source hash mismatch"
tar xf boost_$_VERSION.tar.bz2 \
  || fn_error "could not untar source"

2. The patching gives some errors. I disabled the patching by removing the relevant lines in the script.

After these two modifications, I was able to install boost
