# gcc>4.8 may require the following patches:
# vi GCC/gcc/toplev.h
# 	comment lines 173-183 - definition of floor_log2 and exact_log2
# vi GCC/gcc/toplev.c
# 	comment lines 545-575 and 580-590
# vi GCC/gcc/cp/libc_name_p
# 	remove __inline__ from function libc_name_p on lines 38, 109
#
# gcc>=5 may require something like the following line, but I'm not sure if this works at all
# cp -R GCC_XML/Support/GCC/4.9 GCC_XML/Support/GCC/5.2

|   BOOST    |
+============+
I worked with a compiled version of boost-1.54.
another option is to compile it by yourself. boost 1.54 with gcc>=5 may require patching line 44 in file cstdint.hpp (google it for the exact patch)
then, when compiling ompl, need to set -DBOOST_ROOT=~/ompl_compile/boost/boost
new versions of boost requires a new version of gcc (>=5), which may not be compatible with gccxml.
