 Reporter:  randy du <randydu@…>  |       Type:  Bugs
   Status:  new                   |  Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  Building Boost        |    Version:  Boost 1.56.0
 Severity:  Problem               |   Keywords:  darwin.jam
----------------------------------+------------------------------
 On MacOS 10.9 / XCode 5.1, the SDKs are installed to a new location
 instead of "/Developer/":

 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/

 as a result the boost's darwin.jam fails to locate the available SDKs. The
 following command line will output errors:

 ./b2 macosx-version-min=10.7

 errors:

 tools/build/src/build/feature.jam:493: in validate-value-string from
 module feature
 error: "10.7" is not a known value of feature <macosx-version-min>
 error: legal values:
 ...

 The workaround is create a soft link to new SDK location and everything
 works fine:

 cd /
 sudo ln -s
 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/
 Developer


 FYI: The XCode5 installs iOS sdks under:

 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/

 so darwin.jam should search both /Developer/ and these new SDK locations
 for installed SDKs.
