Hi All,
     I have been having a difficult time trying to build universal  
(ppc and i386) libraries.  I've tried various ways that I've seen  
described on the web, but none of them seem to work.  A recent post on  
the Boost-users mailing list looked promising, but didn't work for me  
either.  My machine is an Intel one running OSX 10.5.6.  Building  
boost 1.37.0 libraries using bjam 03.1.17.  Here's what I tried:

bjam --toolset=darwin --architecture=combined threading=multi --build- 
dir=/Volumes/Data_Storage/depot/sdk/boost/boost_1_37_0/lib/mac --with- 
system

The result was static and dynamic libraries for Intel only.

I also tried editing my user-config.jam file:
# Compiler configuration
using darwin : : : <compileflags>-arch ppc -arch i386 <linkflags>-arch  
ppc -arch i386 ;

This also did not work for me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,
Eric
