Re: [Boost-users] How to Boost static lib build under Mountain Lion and XCODE 4.6

Sorry to respond so late, but thank you for these instructions...they work! On Wed, May 15, 2013 at 9:14 PM, Rich E wrote:

Here are the instructions we use for building the boost binaries used for cinder:

It covers Mac OS X, iOS, Microsoft vc10 and vc11.

Hi,

I'm trying to install and use Boost 1_53_0 on MAC OS X Mountain Lion and use it with the latest XCODE 4.6.x. I want to port a small MS VS MFC C++ app. I developed on Windows to MAC.

Specifically I need to install and build boost as static libraries. I'm completely new to programming on the MAC side of things. I understand that XCODE now uses LLVM Clang, with libc++ and not GCC. I've used GCC on Linux.

I started following the instructions at:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html

but quickly ran into trouble. Does anyone have detailed instructions for how to install and compile boost statically under Mountain Lion and XCode 4.6?

Below is the terminal input and output showing how far I got.

Thanks.

Terminal IO:

./bootstrap.sh --with-bjam=BJAM --with-toolset=TOOLSET
