Re: [Boost-users] Trying to install 1.47 on Snow Leopard using clang toolset gives error "missing argument parent-requirements"

Which docs? Did you try the Getting Started Guide? Yes -- on the page you link to, it says "If you're using a compiler other than your system's default, you'll need to use Boost.Buildhttp://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/tools/build/index.html to create binaries." I'm using clang (because that's the most up-to-date C++ compiler I've been able to install on my machine), so I need to build the binaries, I guess?

You should run the bootstrap script and b2 executable from the boost root directory (not tools/build/v2). Ah, yes, but I want to install b2 so that I can build boost myself (I'm using clang, not GCC), and the docs say to do that in tools/build/v2 first.

I may miss something ... but this procedure is working for me since quite a while now ... As for installing b2, it is enough to put it into $PATH _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
