Boost: MacOSX binaries for Boost

Question

Are there any MacOSX universal binaries (at least i386/ppc for >=macosx10.3) for Boost?

Answer 1

You can install Boost on Mac by using MacPorts.

Once MacPorts is installed you just have to issue the following command:

$ sudo port install boost+universal

You can also ask MacPorts to build binary packages for you by either issuing:

$ port pkg pstree

or

$ port dmg pstree

The pkg or dmg files will be placed in a subfolder of /opt/local/var/macports/build

EDIT: nowadays you can install it with brew

$ brew install boost
