I should have mentioned: A patch is forthcoming - I'm running a build now that I expect will disable the context library.

Nope, does not work for me, 10.5.8 +universal Intel, gcc 4.0. unsupported.cpp is one of the problems. Trying to install Gimp, fixed webkit-gtk, & gimp2, but stuck on dbus, so tried to make the quartz variant, and now so it now needs boost.

10.5 is not supported by boost, nor is gcc 4.0.

However, I've added a patch that should get you going. r104236

FYI this does build for me on 10.5 i386.

What's the error, Ryan? Is it the "unsupported.cpp" thing? The context library should not be built for 10.6 or earlier (as per r104236).

"unsupported.cpp" is just one of the many files in boost. Ploughing through the main.log, it was one of the 2 that failed for me on 10.5.8 +universal. So it's an indication of where an incompatibility might exist in the boost src, that's all.

Many thanks adfemandes@, Patch r104236 seems to work, "Activating boost @1.53.0_1+no_single+no_static+python27+universal", and gimp compiles again:-)

I'm not sure what the last version of the compiler is from apple that works on 10.5.8, but I do remember jumping through some hoops some years ago to fix the linker so wine would be able to run 16 bit code, so I hadn't upgraded, if it's not broke, don't fix.....

Many thanks
Michael

See wiki:XcodeVersionInfo#MacOSX10.5 for the versions of compilers included with Xcode. If you need something newer, there are MacPorts compiler ports you can install.

Oh - haha - read it too quickly. Thought it didn't work. Thanks for letting me know!
