Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #5917: cc toolset broken https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5917 <p> I want to build Boost using the <strong>cc</strong> toolset. It bootstraps fine, but the build system fails to find the toolset when I run b2. </p> <pre class="wiki">$ export CC=gcc $ ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=cc -n Building Boost.Build engine with toolset cc... tools/build/v2/engine/bin.macosxx86_64/b2 -n Detecting Python version... 2.7 -n Detecting Python root... /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7 -n Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... not found.
