Hi,

Has anyone successfully used boost with the "new" apple gcc 4.2? I would like to since gcc42 has openmp, but I cant seem to be able to use boost. I compiled and installed boost with apple gcc 4.2 by directly using bjam with --toolset=darwin-4.2. When I try to use it I get an error (detailed output of gcc below) which hints towards problems with inline assembly. Actually, to get it compiled at all I had to set -fasm-blocks. Am I missing a flag of sorts? Or is it "just" another woe with apple's modified assembler?

Hi, any progress on getting this work? I would also like to use gcc 4.2 :) BTW, adding --toolset=darwin-4.2 does not cause bjam to use gcc 4.2.. It still uses 4.0, so that's probably the reason why the OP managed to compile boost. -- Anders
