Boost: MacOSX binaries for Boost

Are there any MacOSX universal binaries (at least i386/ppc for >=macosx10.3) for Boost?

Solution

  • You can install Boost on Mac by using MacPorts.

    Once MacPorts is installed you just have to issue the following command:

    $ sudo port install boost+universal

    You can also ask MacPorts to build binary packages for you by either issuing:

    $ port pkg pstree

    or

    $ port dmg pstree

    The pkg or dmg files will be placed in a subfolder of /opt/local/var/macports/build

    EDIT: nowadays you can install it with brew

    $ brew install boost

    $ brew info boost
