Please ignore my message. I think figured it out. The problem went away when I didn't specify -std=c++11. Sorry for the spam. On Mon, Feb 10, 2014 at 6:29 PM, Bill White <bill.white@griggsinst.com> wrote:
I am trying to build boost using clang. I know there are many sources of advice for doing this, but I can't seem to find a description of my exact system, and my attempts to adapt them have not been notably successful.
Here are my configuration constraints: 1.) Clang is not the system compiler. It is compiled in installed in separately, with prefix $a/clang. So, $a/clang/bin/clang++ is the C++ compiler, and so forth. I am using the tip of the llvm/clang tree. 2.) I want to use libc++, which is installed in $a/clang/lib/libc++.so. I also want to use the libc++ abi, which is installed in $a/clang/lib/libcxxabi.so. 3.) The libc++ standard library include files are installed in $a/include/c++/v1.
For most programs I compile with the options -nostdinc++ -isystem $a/clang/include/c++/v1 -std=c++11 and link with -stdlib=libc++ -L$a/clang/lib -lcxxabi
This seems to work pretty well for most circumstances. However, I can't figure out how to translate this to boost 1.55.0. I tried: ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=clang --prefix=$a/clang ./b2 toolset=clang \ cxxflags="-std=c++11 -nostdinc++ -isystem $a/clang/include/c++/v1 -stdlib=libc++" \ linkflags="-stdlib=c++ -L$a/clang/lib" \ --prefix=$a/clang -j10 define=BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED stage release
However, the compilations failed. They all seemed to fail compiling type_traits. A typical failure is:

I apologize for the length of this, but I didn't know what to leave out.
Thanks in advance.
