Hi Andrew,

Many thanks for the feedback.  I've already been down the MacPorts route,
but it didn't seem to help and a colleague suggested I'd be better off
taking the "raw" approach and building from source before posting to this
list.

I'll have another go at fiddling with the architecture parameters in XCode,
but I've tried this before and only succeeded in generating more errors
rather than fewer:)

If you happen to have a burst of inspiration as to the details of your
solution, I'd really appreciate hearing about it.

Best wishes.

Tim Burgess

I've run into this problem and it is a bit of a pain. I initially installed
boost via MacPorts which I have found the easiest way to keep things working
and up to date.

https://www.macports.org/install.php

I'm using Xcode 4.6.1.

I use CMake to generate my xcodeproj, but hopefully some of this should
still apply.

Then, to resolve some of these other issues with targets but I believe I
needed to change some of the build settings on the xcodeproj. If you go to
the little folder icon aka Project Navigator > Project Build settings (on
the right) > Architectures + Base SDK + Supported Platforms + Valid
Architecture. I have found that messing with some of those settings gets
things to work again.

The other thing I may have done is regenerated my Xcode project in CMake
because the generated targets were out of date, though that may or may not
be helpful to you.

I'm sorry I don't have a more straightforward answer, but I never actually
wrote the steps down and I figure that some suggestions are better than none
and may lead you in the right direction.

Cheers!
