Boost continually fails to download while using cmake for ethminer

Question

I've been stuck with this since this morning. Basically I ran into an issue with this cmake .. -DETHASHCUDA=ON -DETHASHCL=OFF command while following this https://medium.com/coinmonks/eth-x-nvidia-x-ubuntu-1980393a36f8 tutorial.

Things I know for sure:

The problem isn't in the paramaters, I tried without them, I get the same error.

I have internet connection.

Things I tried:

I found a similar problem which had the solution to manually download boost, put it in the destination folder and enable an option to take a local file if there is one (I forgot what it is and I can't find that question thread right now, sorry). This of course did not work for me.

I've also seen on their sites that they have changed their download urls, but I have no idea what to do with that information.

Here is the relevant message:

         status_code: 22
         status_string: "HTTP response code said error"

When I try to run cmake without hunter with -DHUNTER_ENABLED=OFF I get the following error message:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:68 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "jsoncpp" with any
  of the following names:

    jsoncppConfig.cmake
    jsoncpp-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "jsoncpp" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "jsoncpp_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "jsoncpp" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
  been installed.

UPDATE: I've been able to manually install the necessary packages and I was able to run cmake .. successfully.

However, I have encountered another error when I run cmake --build .

Error:

UPDATE#2: After fixing the above error with ln -s /usr/include/jsoncpp/json/ /usr/include/json I now get a different (compile-time I think) error from some sort of FixedHash.h file.

It looks like the bintray.com site is no longer active ("Thanks for supporting Bintray! This service has now been sunset, and to assist with migration to the JFrog Platform, paid accounts can login until July 4th.") — steeldriver

Yes, I've mentioned that I've seen that, but I still don't know what to do with that. — Luka Ivanić

The build process appears to use the Hunter package manager about which I know nothing - perhaps you (or the software's maintainer) can configure it to use a different source for the boost libraries? The documentation also suggests that you can Disable hunter and install the dependencies yourself (Ubuntu already packages boost for example). — steeldriver

I already tried that and got some sort of a jsoncpp error. I will update the post. Also thank you for taking your time with helping me with this, I appreciate it. — Luka Ivanić
– Luka Ivanić, Commented Jun 4, 2021 at 21:13
So I installed this jsoncpp package, more specifically libjsoncpp-dev. However I have trouble finding the destination to the installed packaged, I googled how to find it, but with no luck, is there any sort of default destination? — Luka Ivanić

Boost has moved downloads to JFrog Artifactory

For the users of Boost, the only difference is that there is a new URL to download releases and snapshots.

Instead of: https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/ you should use https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/ to retrieve boost releases.

Supposedly - this will fix it:

The fix is using the working version of hunter with the latest version of CMake. I have made a pull request with this solution; it is working.
