Build Boost on Mac with Xcode

Question

I\'ve recently got acquainted with Boost library and I\'d like to use it in my Xcode project. But sadly there is no HowTo or FAQ on how to do it :(

What\'s the seque

Answer 1

I found that to build Boost 1.41.1 on MacOS, you need to do the following:

1. Download boost 1.46.1 from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.46.1/
2. Unpack the file
3. Open terminal, cd to the install directory, and do the following:

chmod u+x configure.sh

cd tools/build/v2/engine/src

chmod u+x build.sh

Then go back to the install directory, and:

./configure.sh

If that runs successfully, it will tell you to run:

./bjam

That's it.. for whatever reason, I needed to set those permissions manually before it would work.
