I haven't seen any posts about this, so please pardon me if I have missed it, but Boost does not currently build on Mac OS X Tiger with the 'darwin' toolset because the option -fcoalesce-templates has been removed from the Apple build of GCC 4.0. I have made simple modifications to my checked out copy of the latest Boost source to allow the libraries I need to build, but my changes would break the usability of Boost libraries on previous versions of OS X that need -fcoalesce-templates. I would be happy to submit a patch and run any tests if someone could suggest how I would go about modifying boost/tools/build/v1/darwin-tools.jam in a backwards compatible manner. Thanks.
You can test the $(JAMUNAME) variable to see which OS, machine, version, etc. you are on. It mirrors the output of "uname", so the third item tells you the darwin kernel version. For me, on 10.2, it has: "Darwin" "six" "6.8" <long descriptive string> "Power Macintosh". To test it you would do something like: if $(JAMUNAME[3]) == "6.8" { ... } HTH. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org
