When I got fed up with the miles and miles of warnings/errors, I just decided to drop the "boost" subdir into Xcode and use it "as is".

Anyway, I'm glad to report that I'm up and running with boost 1.32 on OS X 10.4 Tiger with Xcode 2.0 (next step: do the same for CW 9.5 ... :) -- Jean-François Brouillet verec@mac.com

Some boost libraries do need to be built because they aren't just headers. If you only use header-only boost libs, like the smart pointers, then you can get away without building boost. -jim
