I've some doubt that this is a bug because http://www.boost.org/development/tests/release/developer/context.html reports that the regression tests pass (marshall-mac).

I'm seeing exactly the same bug as stefan while trying to build boost using the latest non-beta developer tools from Apple.

clang version: Apple LLVM version 4.2 (clang-425.0.28) (based on LLVM 3.2svn))

as version: Apple Inc version cctools-839, GNU assembler version 1.38

It looks like both:

libs/context/src/asm/make_x86_64_sysv_macho_gas.S

and

libs/context/src/asm/jump_x86_64_sysv_macho_gas.S

are saved with Windows CRLFs and 'as' is objecting to every CR in the file. If you confert the CRLFs to to Unix LFs, the problems go away.

code is edited under UNIX - vi does not show CRLF clang- darwin- 4.2.1 compiles the code

The file is clearly wrong and won't assemble using the tools in Xcode 4.6. The following is from a fresh 1.54 download:

$ file libs/context/src/asm/make_x86_64_sysv_macho_gas.S
libs/context/src/asm/make_x86_64_sysv_macho_gas.S: ASCII c program text, with CRLF line terminators

I don't know how the Windows line endings are getting in there, but they are in the 1.54 distribution.

Here is the error I see:

Confirmed. Running sometime like the following over the distributed files resolves the build errors:

perl -pe 's/\r\n|\n|\r/\n/g'   inputfile > outputfile

please do a 'svn co http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/release/' and check the lib and tell me the result. I realy don't see a ^{M (CRLF representation in vi) if I look into file make_x86_64_sysv_macho_gas.S!
And, more important, all regression tests in trunk and release on Darwin (using clang) pass!
Take a look at:

.zip and .7z files are shipped with CR-LF newline codes and .tar.bz2 and .tar.gz are shipped with LF newline codes.

I think the reporter downloaded .zip or .7z one. If so, please download .tar.bz2 or .tar.gz one and try again!

Hi All I'm trying to install Boost_1_54_0, have downloaded the latest version, boost_1_54_0.tar.bz2, unpacked it. I got the an error when trying to use ./bootstrap.sh. "./bootstrap.sh: line 212: rm: command not found -n Building Boost.Build engine with toolset darwin...

Failed to build Boost.Build build engine Consult 'bootstrap.log' for more details". In the log file it says rm -rf bootstrap ./build.sh: line 16: rm: command not found.

The same question was posted years ago at this link,

Installing boost library in /usr/lib: sudo ./bootstrap.sh command not found

The solution was to type, chmod 755 bootstrap.sh , to make it executable. I've tried to do that but it says "command not found". The chmod command was not found. Even trying to do Boost.build in the v2 directory, it says the bootstrap.sh and chmod 755 to make it executable was not found. I stuck!!! Could you please help me. I need to install boost in order to run Tophat2. Thanks in advance. Kind regards
