 Hello everyone.

 In fact i'm compiling on Mac OS 10.6, but i was trying to compile for 10.4
 to get a better compatibility for my application. It was working until I
 add the boost filesystem library, which uses the boost system library.

 I got the following answer :

 ----
  "___stack_chk_fail", referenced from:
       (anonymous namespace)::generic_error_category::message(int) constin
 libboost_system.a(error_code.o)

   "___stack_chk_guard", referenced from:
       ___stack_chk_guard$non_lazy_ptr in libboost_system.a(error_code.o)
      (maybe you meant: ___stack_chk_guard$non_lazy_ptr)

 ld: symbol(s) not found
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 ----

 The fact is that when i changed the var "Base SDK" [SDKROOT] from
 macosx10.4 to macosx10.5, it just worked well.


 I found more or less the same problem on another project:
 http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions

 It notices:

 ----
 If you get linker errors like /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
 ___stack_chk_fail, ___stack_chk_guard, this comes from using a libc that
 is not glibc >=2.4. Until this is detected by the build system, you can
 hack it by removing the "-fstack-protector-all" line (and the next line
 too if needed) from build/premake/premake.lua
 ----


 It would be great if it was possible to patch that.
 Hope this ticket wasn't already posted.
 Best regards.

 nuKs.
