Hi all, I'm one of the developers of a project that requires a few Boost libraries. First of all, thanks to the people at Boost Consulting who made the binary installer available; we have a constant stream of new users asking for instructions on how to build Boost, and let's just say that since the installer was released for version 1.33.1, it streamlined our answers... we still had a few users we couldn't direct to this solution, though; namely, those behind a corporate firewall. Does the new installer for 1.34 work in this setting? I can't test it myself, as I'm not behind such a firewall. Thanks again, Luigi ---------------------------------------- Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact. -- George Eliot

It's no different from the other one. However, you might consider http://boost-consulting.com/products/standard, which is imminent. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

This is interesting! Are you planning to provide a MacOS X style binary installer (a.k.a. package installer)? I'm about to start working on such an installer for Boost 1.34 but that would save me some work. If so, are you planing to provide Universal Libraries (containing Intel and PowerPC libs)? Until now I couldn't convince bjam to automatically produce fat libs on MacOS. Ole On Jun 11, 2007, at 10:46 AM, David Abrahams wrote:

Ticket #989 concerns support for universal binaries in Boost.Build: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/989 At present, there is no such support. I don't know Boost Consulting's plans in this regard, but I doubt that we will see a Mac OS X binary installer along these lines any time soon. Some of us are working on a CMake-based build system for Boost, which includes creating binary installers for Windows and Mac OS X (with universal binaries). I have no idea if the CMake build system will make it into Boost, but if it does... we'll certainly be creating binary installers for Mac OS X. - Doug

As a CMake user, I am very much looking forward to this. Where do I find more information? I currently have a custom CMake tool integrated in my project's build system that builds several of the boost binaries along with my project binaries. Of course, having an officially-sanctioned Boost CMake build system would be ideal. I would be happy to help with this effort. Thanks, Justin

You might want to have a look at this patch: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/989 :) Greets, Jonas

For what it's worth, here is an *unsupported* *alpha* installer for Boost 1.34.0 on Mac OS X that I just rolled with CMake's packaging facilities: http://www.generic-programming.org/~dgregor/Boost-1.34.0-Darwin.dmg It doesn't have the HTML documentation, but it installs headers and universal library binaries. - Doug

I'll give that a go - a 10 minute download's got to be better than the hour or so my iBook would need to build Boost ;-) Stuart Dootson

Seems to work - I compiled and linked a small program using Boost.Regex. Built and ran as expected. Nice work! Stuart Dootson
