I'm trying to build boost 1.34.1 on mac os X 64-bit. In a previous thread someone(Vladimir Prus) gave the following suggestion:

========================================== You need to pass

architecture=x86 address-model=64

in addition to the above to bjam, or you may pass

architecture=combined address-model=64 ==========================================

and it looks like it was fine with boost 1.36. However when I try with boost 1.34.1 I get the following message:

libs/test/src/execution_monitor.cpp:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set

If I remove the achitecture=x86 option then it compiles, but the resulting libraries are not 64-bit, base on the output from file libbooost-XXX.dylib. Is there anything in the 1.34.1 version preventing me from compiling in 64-bit mode?

I'm using gcc 4.0.1.

Hmmmph. This worked for me. Are you using combined or 64-bit?

Also macports.org has ports already to go for your Mac incase that will help.

Do you mean combined instead of x86? Using combined as a value for either the address model or the architecture returns a message indicating that it is not a valid value.

Well I haven't done combined but what about 64 for address-model?

Same result. With ./tools/jam/src/bin.macosxx86/bjam architecture=x86 address-model=combined install produces ... error: "combined" is not a known value of feature <address-model> error: legal values: "16" "32" "64" ... and the same result with adding --toolset-darwin to the command line.

Yes but if you do address-model=64, does that work? I would assume so. I don't think "combined" is going to work.

I tried all the combinations of address-model=[64|combined] architecture=[x86|combined|<nothing>] --toolset=darwin | <nothing> Omitting --toolset=darwin gives me a warning that gcc is used but does not change the result. Omitting the architecture parameter with address-model=64 will compile but the resulting libraries are 32 bits. With architecture=x86 and address-model=64 I get the message ' error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set.' I'll download 1.36 and see if it willcompile. I think that all I need to change to my code is a method that changed name in the filesystem library. It may be faster than trying to compile 1.34. a
