This is interesting!

Are you planning to provide a MacOS X style binary installer (a.k.a. package installer)? I'm about to start working on such an installer for Boost 1.34 but that would save me some work. If so, are you planing to provide Universal Libraries (containing Intel and PowerPC libs)? Until now I couldn't convince bjam to automatically produce fat libs on MacOS.

For what it's worth, here is an *unsupported* *alpha* installer for Boost 1.34.0 on Mac OS X that I just rolled with CMake's packaging facilities:

http://www.generic-programming.org/~dgregor/Boost-1.34.0-Darwin.dmg

It doesn't have the HTML documentation, but it installs headers and universal library binaries.

I'll give that a go - a 10 minute download's got to be better than the hour or so my iBook would need to build Boost ;-)

Seems to work - I compiled and linked a small program using Boost.Regex. Built and ran as expected. Nice work! Stuart Dootson
