Hi folks,

after successfully deploying boost 1.44 on Windows and Linux, I now fail
bitterly on Mac OSX.

It is a Power PC with OSX 10.4 and gcc 4.0.1
When building boost with the following command:
./bjam --layout=system --with-serialization link=static variant=release
threading=multi

I get the following error:
darwin.compile.c++
bin.v2/libs/serialization/build/darwin-4.0.1/release/link-static/threading-
multi/basic_xml_archive.o
darwin.compile.c++
bin.v2/libs/serialization/build/darwin-4.0.1/release/link-static/threading-
multi/binary_iarchive.o
./boost/archive/basic_binary_iarchive.hpp:74: error: invalid application of

bin.v2/libs/serialization/build/darwin-4.0.1/release/link-static/threading-

...failed updating 1 target...

I did NOT set architecture=combined. I want a PPC only build.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards
Philipp
