I am trying to build boost python with macports gcc (namely gcc-mp-4.8). I have already built python from sources, using the same compiler. However, creating a framework was not possible, so I have to live with the dynamic libs, which I "make install"-ed using the prefix "/Users/user1/usr/local".

Back to boost now.

My user-config.jam file contains the following:

-------- user-config.jam - start --------

using gcc : macports 

               : /opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.8 

               : <compileflags>--sysroot=/opt/local ;

using python : 3.3 

                    : /Users/user1/usr/local/bin/python3.3 

                    : /Users/user1/usr/local/include/python3.3m 

                    : /Users/user1/usr/local/lib 

                      /Users/user1/usr/local/lib/python3.3 ;

-------- project-config.jam - end --------

I run bootstrap as follows:

./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=darwin 

                     --with-libraries=program_options,thread,serialization,python 

                     --prefix=/Users/user1/installations/boost_1.54.0_inst

Afterwards I open the project-config.jam file and see that the Python framework present in my system, is used instead:

  . . .

  . . .

-------- project-config.jam - end --------

However, this is not what I requested. I don't want to use the existing python framework, but the dynamic python libs I compiled instead. Creating a framework out of the python sources is not an option, since I don't use the clang compiler, but macports gcc. It seems to be some Mac OS specific code, when the --enable-framework switch is enabled in the python sources.

Is it possible to build boost python under mac os x, with macports gcc, using the python dynamic libs instead of a framework? It seems that the framework is autodetected by bjam. How can I force it to use my compiled dylib and all relevant information (include paths, executable, etc) ?

PS. I already tried explicitely specifying the following command line options in bootstrap, without success:

./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=darwin 

                     --with-libraries=program_options,thread,serialization,python 

                     --with-python-version=3.3 

                     --with-python-root=/Users/user1/usr/local 

                     --with-python=/Users/user1/usr/local/bin/python3.3 

                     --prefix=/Users/user1/installations/boost_1.54.0_inst
