compile Boost as static Universal binary lib

Question

I want to have a static Universal binary lib of Boost. (Preferable the latest stable version, that is 1.43.0, or newer.)

I found many Google hits with similar proble

Answer 1

I found the problem. It seems that the MacOSX 10.4 SDK is missing a bunch of symlinks for GCC 4.2.

Use this as a test case: g++ on MacOSX doesn't work with -arch ppc64

It will report multiple errors with GCC 4.2 (missing C++ includes, missing C includes, missing libs). In all cases, you can just fix that by setting a symlink. Search in your SDK for the file and just set the symlink in the same way it is in the MacOSX 10.5 SDK.

After that, it all just worked.
