= Building Boost on Mac OS X (Intel) =

Cobbled together from

Warning: these instructions do not build a universal binary. It
appears that this can be done see

1. Download boost_1_33_1.tar.bz2 and expand. Change into that directory
2. ./configure
3. sudo cp tools/build/jam_src/bin.macosxx86/bjam /usr/local/bin/bjam

# The following assumes your Python (version 2.4) is installed at
  /Users/astraw/py2.4-macosx-10.3-fat/bin/python and that Python.h is
  in /Users/astraw/py2.4-macosx-10.3-fat/include/python2.4

4. bjam --with-python -sPYTHON_VERSION=2.4 -sPYTHON_ROOT=/Users/astraw/py2.4-macosx-10.3-fat
5. cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/include/python2.4
6. cp -p -r ~/other-peoples-src/boost/boost_1_33_1/boost .
7. cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib
8. cp ~/other-peoples-src/boost/boost_1_33_1/bin/boost/libs/python/build/libboost_python.a/gcc/release/libboost_python.a .

(This way didn't seem to work:)

4a. cd libs/python/build/
4b. PYTHON_ROOT="/Users/astraw/py2.4-macosx-10.3-fat" ~/other-peoples-src/boost/boost-jam-3.1.13-1-macosxppc/bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" install
