Boost Install on Mac OS X using GCC
Hello, I'm trying to install boost on mac using the gcc compiler.

I would try the auto installer from boostpro.org.

Try adding toolset=darwin to your bjam command-line. HTH, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Have you looked into MacPorts (macports.org)? Even if you don't want to use the framework, you can take a peek at their config script for boost. Mostafa

Thanks for the insight everyone, i was trying to build bjam explicitly using gcc, however everything seems to work fine with darwin, so it seems

Hello, I'm trying to install boost on mac using the gcc compiler. I encounter these errors during installation for all libraries:
I am getting the same errors [2], however, the suggested solution of using the darwin toolset isn't option, because I need to pass the -std=c++0x flag on the command line to bjam for C++0x support. I am trying to build Boost with the latest g++ 4.6.1 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard: ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=gcc ./bjam cxxflags=-std=c++0x This was suggest by Vincente on stackoverflow [1]. Does anyone know a workaround for this problem? Matthias [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2887707/how-to-build-boost-with-c0x-suppo... [2] bjam build error snippet: gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/gcc-4.6.1/release/threading-multi/gzip.o gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/gcc-4.6.1/release/threading-multi/bzip2.o gcc.link.dll stage/lib/libboost_iostreams.dylib ld: unknown option: -R collect2: ld returned 1 exit status "g++" -Wl,-R -Wl,"/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib" -Wl,-R -Wl,"/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/config" -o "stage/lib/libboost_iostreams.dylib" -Wl,-h -Wl,libboost_iostreams.dylib -shared -Wl,--start-group "bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/gcc-4.6.1/release/threading-multi/file_descriptor.o" "bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/gcc-4.6.1/release/threading-multi/mapped_file.o" "bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/gcc-4.6.1/release/threading-multi/zlib.o" "bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/gcc-4.6.1/release/threading-multi/gzip.o" "bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/gcc-4.6.1/release/threading-multi/bzip2.o" -Wl,-Bstatic -Wl,-Bdynamic -lbz2 -lz -Wl,--end-group ...failed gcc.link.dll stage/lib/libboost_iostreams.dylib... gcc.compile.c++.pch bin.v2/libs/math/build/gcc-4.6.1/release/threading-multi/../src/tr1/pch.hpp.gch gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/math/build/gcc-4.6.1/release/threading-multi/assoc_laguerre.o gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/math/build/gcc-4.6.1/release/threading-multi/assoc_legendre.o
In short, I could resolve the issue as follows: (1) Create a file user-config.jam in the boost root with the following contents: using darwin : std0x : "/opt/local/bin/g++" : <cxxflags>-std=gnu++0x ; (2) Because non-Apple versions of g++ do not support -no-cpp-precomp, we need to remove this option in file tools/build/v2/tools/darwin.jam. In line 485, change flags darwin.compile OPTIONS : -no-cpp-precomp -gdwarf-2 ; to flags darwin.compile OPTIONS : -gdwarf-2 ; (3) Now build Boost with ./bootstrap.sh ./bjam --with-toolset=darwin-std0x Obviously this is not a clean solution, but my Boost Build knowledge is quite limited to come up with the right approach. What would be the right way to do fix this? Matthias
