[Boost-build] linking serialization library with xcode

From: Denis Tkachov (dtkachov_at_[hidden])

platform - Mac OS (Leopard)
boost: v.1.34

I have build boost with bjam. Bjam put its output to stage/lib folder.
I have specified full path to this folder in xcode project settings -
xcode cannot map the boost serialization library. Than I have
specified library in hand (I all the libraries - debug/release,
multitreaded, etc..) - xcode still fail to map boost libraries.

Same things I have tried with building library from command line using
gcc (g++) compiler.
G++ returns: "ld: in build, can't map file, errno=22"
Sample of command line is:
g++ * -I ~/lib/boost/boost_1_34_1/
~/lib/boost/boost_1_34_1/stage/lib/libboost_serialization-mt.a

BTW - sample listed here do not work for Mac OS X:
http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html

according to this sample I have to use such command line:
g++ * -I ~/lib/boost/boost_1_34_1/ -L
~/lib/boost/boost_1_34_1/stage/lib/ -llibboost_serialization-mt.a
in this case g++ out is "ld: library not found for
-llibboost_serialization-mt.a"

Omitting specification of suffix and prefix (as mentioned in manual
when set path via "-L" parameter and library via "-l" parameter) also
does not work.

Such command line (omitting "-L" parameter) also does not work :
g++ * -I ~/lib/boost/boost_1_34_1/
~/lib/boost/boost_1_34_1/stage/lib/libboost_serialization-mt.a
output:
ld: in build, can't map file, errno=22

>From above mentioned manual I noticed that boost library files must
contain "gcc" in name. I have found such files in bin.v2 forlder.
For example here:
bin.v2/libs/serialization/build/gcc-4.0.1/debug/link-static/threading-multi/

But linking with this file fails too.

Same project links and woks great under windows with same boost library.
Windows project links with boost serialization library
'libboost_serialization-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib'.

Please help me with liking boost serialization library under Mac OS X.

Best regards,
Denis
