Marcus - thanks for answering
I don't know much about the program options library or the OS X locale tools. But I can help a little with your questions about building under darwin.
Ok - hopefully someone knows (or I probably will have to digg deep :)
First of all, it is generally a good idea to stick with the gcc provided by Apple with the Xcode distribution. Even though the compiler is named gcc, you'll want to use the darwin toolset. It looks like this is what you've been doing. The toolset is not confused about what version of OS X your are running. The macosx-version-10.4 is indicating that 10.4 is the minimum version of OS X on which your built artifacts will run. At this point in time, it remains a good default. If you tell bjam to use macosx-version=10.5 you will be perhaps be abel to take advantage of 10.5-only features, but the resulting executables will not run under earlier OS versions. You can read more about this in Apple's documentation on the -mmacosx-version-min compiler option. See also the related -isysroot option.
Yes, I was building with --toolset=darwin; using macosx-version=10.5 leads to a 10.5 directory - thank you, I didn't know that :) Anyway, I tried it, but the 'locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid' is still there ...
Hope this helps, Mat _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
