[Boost-users] [bjam] Presence of Mac OS X 10.6 SDK prevents boost 1.36 build

Hi all,

I have the Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) SDK on my dev system. The  
presence of this SDK prevents boost 1.36 from building:

The workaround was for me to hide the SDK, run configure again, then  
build. I still can't build successfully, due to an unrelated issue.  
But I'll post that separately in order to try and keep things clear.

Snow Leopard will be here before you know it, so at some point the  
boost build system should be updated to know about 10.6. For that  
matter, maybe a new SDK would just generate a warning, not a hard error.

Best,
