Details

Description:
currently ( assimp-3.1-1 ) it is not using boost when building. assimp has some builtin boost-workaround functions so that you can build it without boost. since boost is already a makedependency enabling it is a matter of adding:

-DASSIMP_ENABLE_BOOST_WORKAROUND=FALSE

to the cmake options. This helps other packages ( like openrave-git from the AUR ) to build assimp in conjunction with boost using cmake.
It also provides threading support because the builtin workaround methods do not.

Additional info:
* package version: assimp-3.1-1


Steps to reproduce:
$ grep "set( ASSIMP_Boost_VERSION" /usr/lib/cmake/assimp-3.0/assimp-config.cmake # before
set( ASSIMP_Boost_VERSION ".")
$ grep "set( ASSIMP_Boost_VERSION" /usr/lib/cmake/assimp-3.0/assimp-config.cmake # after
set( ASSIMP_Boost_VERSION "1.55")
This task depends upon

+1, unless there were some very good reasons for not linking to Boost in the first place.
