Re: [Boost-build] building Universal binaries on OS X

Hi Richard,

The only way I found to successfully build universal binaries of  
boost was using Adobe's ASL and patch:

http://opensource.adobe.com/asl_readme.html

If you just follow their instructions, it will build certain boost  
libraries. If you need some of the other boost libraries, then you  
can edit adobe-source/adobe/bin/build.sh so that MODE includes the  
flag --asl-all-boost.

I had to do some other steps to get boost.python working. Let me know  
if you need further instructions. If you find a better way to build  
boost as a universal binary, please let me know or post on the list!
