This probably won't help you, but there has been noise on two other mailing lists I monitor (CMake being one) that suggest people are having similar problems. It seems that Snow Leopard (and the new GCC compiler bundled with it) defaults to 64 bit treatment or something. If you make any headway, I am sure that many of us would benefit from what you learn. As for me, I am holding off updating (I have the new software on my desk) because of these issues... James On Sep 2, 2009, at 3:06 PM, Manfred Schwind wrote:
Some corrections to my last post:
The problem is _not_ the PPC code generation and/or the GCC version; I was on the wrong track with that. The problem seems to be with 64-bit code. The following command works fine to built the 32-bit versions of boost:
bjam --prefix=/somepath --layout=versioned toolset=darwin architecture=combined link=static install
I've just removed the address-model=32_64 parameter. Anyone has an idea why building the 64-bit version fails on Snow Leopard?

Hi,
I'm trying to build boost 1.40 on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (with Xcode 3.2 is installed). This is the command I used to use on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Xcode 3.1.x:
bjam --prefix=/somepath --layout=versioned toolset=darwin architecture=combined address-model=32_64 link=static install
This used to give me great universal binaries (ppc/intel, 32-/64- bit). But since installing Snow Leopard and Xcode 3.2 it does not build anymore. No binaries are created and I get strange compiler errors like this:
/usr/include/time.h:77: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘typedef’ /usr/include/time.h:124: error: ‘clock_t’ does not name a type In file included from /usr/include/c++/4.2.1/cwchar:52, from /usr/include/c++/4.2.1/bits/postypes.h:46, from /usr/include/c++/4.2.1/iosfwd:49, from /usr/include/c++/4.2.1/bits/stl_algobase.h:70, from /usr/include/c++/4.2.1/bits/char_traits.h:46, from /usr/include/c++/4.2.1/string:47, from ./boost/program_options/errors.hpp:12, from ./boost/program_options/options_description.hpp: 12, from libs/program_options/src/ options_description.cpp:10:
I _assume_ the problem is gcc 4.2 that was probably installed by Xcode 3.2. I am also not sure if gcc 4.2 even supports PCC code generation. So is there a way to switch to gcc 4.0? Or any other solution for the problem? I tried toolset=gcc-4.0 instead of darwin. This resulted in some binaries, but they are not universal anymore, as far as I can see.
Any ideas/hints how to successfully build boost on Snow Leopard?
