Re: [Boost-users] Installation on Macintosh

14 Jul 2006

      In case anybody else is struggling with the installation of boost on the 
Mac, a nice way to do it is to use darwin ports:
boost.darwinports.com

Hello
I am trying to install boost on a macintosh (Tiger). I
downloaded the boost-jam-3.1.13-1-macosxppc.tgz file
and uncompressed it in a folder:
/Developer/Libraries/boost
there I installed bjam
and in the Terminal I typed:
./bjam "-sTOOLS=darwin" install
everything things run smoothly until I get a lot of
error messages like:
...skipped
<@boost!include!boost-1_33_1!boost!wave!util>symbol_table.hpp
for lack of
<directory-grist>/usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1/boost/wave/util...
...skipped
<@boost!include!boost-1_33_1!boost!wave!util>time_conversion_helper.hpp

<@boost!include!boost-1_33_1!boost!wave!util>unput_queue_iterator.hpp
for lack of
<directory-grist>/usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1/boost/wave/util...
and the installation process ends with
...failed updating 8 targets...
...skipped 3649 targets...
...updated 709 targets...
Any idea on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
