Hi,

I am trying to build boost 1.42.0 on MAC but I am having some problem. I am using the following command line ./bjam --build-dir=/tmp/build-boost toolset=gcc stage

At the end of build I get most of the ".a" version of lib but none of ".dylib"(dynamic library). I see multiple of the following error for different library, "...failed gcc.link.dll stage/lib/libboost_math_tr1.dylib...".

I usually work on window and new to MAC, so could some one point me what's I am doing wrong?

If you *promise* not to shoot the messenger... I'll tell you that I think you need "toolset=darwin" rather than "toolset=gcc" -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
