Description
hi all
I'm trying to install boost on my mac in order to use cufflinks (genetic analysis software) which can't work without boost! I called the ./boostrap.sh and looks like everything worked fine, however, when I call
./b2 install
or
bjam --prefix=/usr/local --toolset=darwin architecture=x86 address_model=64 link=static runtime-link=static runtime-link=static stage install
the same error comes out:
/Users/macbook/Downloads/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/tools/darwin.jam:513: in load *** argument error * rule flags ( rule-or-module variable-name condition * : values * : unchecked ? : hack-hack ? ) * called with: ( darwin.link.dll OPTIONS : -headerpad_max_install_names; flags darwin.link OPTIONS <runtime-link>static : -nodefaultlibs -shared-libgcc -lstdc++-static -lgcc_eh -lgcc -lSystem ) * extra argument -shared-libgcc /Users/macbook/Downloads/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/build/toolset.jam:119:see definition of rule 'flags' being called /Users/macbook/Downloads/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/kernel/modules.jam:289: in import /Users/macbook/Downloads/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/build/toolset.jam:39: in toolset.using /Users/macbook/Downloads/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/build/project.jam:1007: in using ../../../project-config.jam:12: in modules.load /Users/macbook/Downloads/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/build-system.jam:249: in load-config /Users/macbook/Downloads/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/build-system.jam:412: in load-configuration-files /Users/macbook/Downloads/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/build-system.jam:524: in load /Users/macbook/Downloads/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/kernel/modules.jam:289: in import /Users/macbook/Downloads/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/kernel/bootstrap.jam:139: in boost-build /Users/macbook/Downloads/boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/boost-build.jam:8: in module scope
...any suggestions on how to fix this?
I can't find anything online that addresses it!
thanks

I downloaded the tar.gz file and unpacked it. thanks for the reply, I added the space before the semicolon and calling ./b2 it looks like it's building it correctly since I'm getting all the various verbose lines and it ends with
...failed updating 21 targets... ...skipped 20 targets... ...updated 953 targets...
however, calling
bjam --prefix=/usr/local --toolset=darwin architecture=x86 address_model=64 link=static runtime-link=static runtime-link=static stage install
i get the following

any idea what that means?

- You're using the system bjam which may or may not work correctly with the version of Boost.Build in 1.55.
- The link.jam warning is harmless. It was caused by an overeager merge of some of the work for the git transition. Loading it is simply skipped, which is okay because nothing in it is needed in 1.55.
- The feature is called address-model not address_model.

I have no idea what happened. I just downloaded boost_1_55_0.tar.gz from sourceforge, and darwin.jam does contain the space that was missing in your copy.

thanks for the reply, I fixed the
address_model
to
address-model
, however now I get this error

otherwise, which version of bjam is compatible with boost 1.55?
comment:6 by , 9 years ago
The version bundled with 1.55 is guaranteed to be compatible. Several versions back will probably work, but I don't know exact details off the top of my head. (Note: b2 is the new name for bjam.).
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Your copy of darwin.jam is corrupted. On line 509, there should be a space before the semicolon. Is there any chance that you modified it? Which archive did you download? The 7z archive looks okay.
