I applied patches that I found on two other GitHub repos and spent a few minutes fighting the remaining compiler errors and was successfully able to get the library to compile in 2026 on my Ubuntu ARM64 machine.
However, Ubuntu does not package libboost-system for ARM64, so I had to compile it myself. I created a script in the repository to automate this process and added a conditional to the Makefile to check the architecture of the host system. If it is ARM64, it manually links to the path that the boost_system library installs to during the manual build process, otherwise it defaults to the original
-lboost_systemflag.
