Cytolib install fails on github actions CI/CD for Ubuntu 22.04 (C++11?)

[FMKerckhof]

Describe the bug

I am using github actions for CI/CD of a package that depends on cytolib. I am specifically specifying to use the github version (remotes::github::RGLab/cytolib) as a dependency in the DESCRIPTION file.

Windows and MacOS binary R CMD check succeed, but on Ubuntu 22.04 with R 4.3.3 I am observing a build error listed below.

It appears that the error is the interface with boost (there are related issues, e.g. #49) Boost (BH) which is installed in by the github actions runner is 1.84.0-0, which should be compatible (887b8d8)

To Reproduce

I would assume any package depending on cytolib (like flowWorkspace etc.) should get a similar error with the same workflow?

Expected behavior

The build to pass on ubuntu 22.04, as it is LTS and I am using BH 1.84.0-0, which is also latest on CRAN?

SessionInfo:

cf. supra - as this is a github action I don't have an interactive session to run sessionInfo, but the necessary versions etc. should be provided

Maybe as additional context the runner is also installing:

• RProtoBuflib 2.12.1
• Rhd5lib 1.22.1

[FMKerckhof]

closing as seems to be resolved with latest
