Wow, It's good to see how many people responded to this message ;) Is there any update to this? -Jaime On Wed, Nov 28, 2007 at 5:07 PM, Mat Marcus <mat-lists@emarcus.org> wrote:

I've made a number of changes to my universal-binary supporting darwin.jam patch (shipping with the Adobe Source Library) in order to address the concerns raised by Rene and others at http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/989 :

My current version supports invocations like:

bjam architecture={combined,x86,power} link={shared,static} address-model={64,32}

That is, universal builds are now supported, along with 64 bit builds. I'd like to ask for the help from a few volunteers who'd be willing to test it out, before I submit my patch for consideration. Anyone interested in helping me test it? If so, please contact me off list and I'll send you a couple of boost build files to replace.

I still have a bit of cleanup to do. Specifically, on the mac, if a build doesn't specify an -arch parameter, the architecture (and perhaps the address model) of the host machine is used. I'm not really comfortable with the same folder path meaning different things on different machines. So, I plan to do something like the following in darwin.jam (in invented pseudo code)

SWITCH(on result of /usr/bin/arch) { # host machine's architecture CASE(ppc) use <architecture>power/<address-model>32 as the default CASE(i386) use <architecture>x86/<address-model>32 as the default CASE(ppc64) use <architecture>power/<address-model>64 as the default CASE(x86_64) use <architecture>x86/<address-model>64 as the default DEFAULT error, unknown arch
