Hi Beman,
A couple of comments on RC2. It builds fine with the darwin toolset (gcc 4.0.1) on an Intel core2 running Tiger. All the documentation links I checked worked okay. There're a couple of issues building with the Intel compilers under Tiger (the intel-darwin toolset).
(1) The configure script doesn't recognize the intel-darwin toolset. I've attached patches to both tools/jam/src/build.sh and tools/jam/src/build.jam so the intel-darwin toolset is recognized.
Please go ahead and apply these to both trunk and release.
With these patches, users with intel compilers on the Mac should be able to:
./configure --with-toolset=intel-darwin ; make
Is that mentioned in the Getting Started docs? If not please update those docs.
(2) Python fails to compile when the intel compilers generate 64 bit code, the fix is to build 32 bit if you need python.
(3) The address-model property in intel-darwin.jam isn't properly configured. I've attached a patch to fix tools/build/v2/tools/intel-darwin.jam to make this work with address-model=32,64.
Please go ahead and apply to both trunk and release. I'm a bit worried about these patches introducing unexpected glitches. It would be reassuring if you could retest once they appear in a snapshot.
(4) The regex library (built shared as a dylib), doesn't link due to, apparently, missing symbols in the runtime.
__ZNSt15basic_streambufIwSt11char_traitsIwEE8overflowEj __ZNSt15basic_streambufIwSt11char_traitsIwEE9pbackfailEj
(5) The filesystem library (built shared) fails to link building 32 bit for an internal link error.
ld: internal error: output_local_symbols() inconsistent local symbol count
Aren't those both Apple problems? I'm not sure we can do anything about them. Thanks, --Beman
