Darwin

Building normal dynamically linked library

To build Boost on darwin, first download the "macosxppc" version of Boost Jam. Then run the following command in the Boost source directory:

	bjam -sTOOLS=darwin

Note that if you omit the -sTOOLS option, bjam will try to use the default configuration for GCC, and fail. Also note that the Apple developer tools includes another Jam variant: use Boost jam to build boost.

Creating framework for Apple version of GCC

I tried to use command:

        bjam -sTOOLS=darwin -sBUILD=framework

but it didn't create framework package as I thought. Has anyone ideas howto create "boost.framework" ?

Now you have working "boost.framework" directory, just copy it to

       /Library?/Frameworks? or to  ~/Library?/Frameworks? 

after copying boost can be used with gcc like this:

     g++ -o boostexample someboostprogram.cc  -framework boost 

You can also use Fink and FinkCommander? to auto install Boost You just have to enable "use unstable" option in FinkCommander? preferences.
