Re: [Boost-testing] CodeWarrior on Mac

Metrowerks has their own implementation of the standard library, unimaginatively named the "Metrowerks Standard Library" or MSL.

When you write a program using CodeWarrior on the Mac, you can use the MSL, or the standard library that Apple ships as part of the system (which is provided by gcc). Metrowerks refers to this as the "BSD library" (probably because of MacOS's BSD heritage).
I would think that, first at least, we want to see boost build and test with MSL because I believe that is what most Mac CodeWarrior programmers are going to use. Does this seem right?

The command line tool setup that MW provides can set up environment variables to point to the MSL or the BSD Standard Library. It points to MSL by default.
