#13714: boost 1.34.1 still won't build on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: tristandpeters@gmail.com | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: boost ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Changes (by jmr@macports.org): * cc: jmr@macports.org (added) Comment: I can confirm that something is wrong here. As raimue noted, jam is not needed to build boost. It was cleaning boost, not installing jam, that made the problem go away. I just tried installing boost and got this: {{{ ---> Extracting boost ---> Extracting boost_1_34_1.tar.bz2 ---> Configuring boost -n Building Boost.Jam with toolset darwin... usage: mkdir [-pv] [-m mode] directory ... tools/jam/src/ ...skipped bjam for lack of ... ...failed updating 1 target.../bjam -n Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... disabled. Generating Boost.Build configuration in user-config.jam... Generating Makefile... ---> Building boost with target all Makefile:2: *** missing separator. Stop. }}} However, I then cleaned boost and tried installing it again, and it built OK. I guess that's a pretty simple workaround, but it would be good to find out why this is happening and make it work the first time. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13714#comment:8> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
