726,"""-shared"" not supported for linking under MacOS X",jonamike,nobody,"{{{
When I try to do a plain-vanilla build of Boost using
bjam (following the directions at
http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html pretty
carefully) I get the following results for one of the
targets (I note that ""man gcc"" says that ""-shared is
not supported under Mac OS X"" -- do I need to configure
Boost specially for Mac OS X?):
