[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1129828: orthanc-webviewer: FTBFS with boost 1.90

[Sébastien Jodogne]

Hello,

Thanks for your all of your reports about the Orthanc-related packages.

Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce any of these reports using 
pbuilder on my Debian unstable machine (amd64), with all the packages 
freshly updated.

The following error seems to indicate that the build process isn't 
instructed to link against the boost_filesystem library:

(.text+0x1670): undefined reference to 
`boost::filesystem::detail::absolute(boost::filesystem::path const&, 
boost::filesystem::path const&, boost::system::error_code*)'

But, the "-lboost_filesystem" is well provided to the linker if looking 
at the full build log:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202603/orthanc-webviewer_2.10+dfsg-2_amd64-20260305T152515.988Z

Summarizing, I am unable to understand and to fix this issue by myself.

Regards,
Sébastien-
