Anyhow, you might be more interested in the new installer stuff
Doug has been putting together:

A test run and report back would be appreciated, I'm sure. Hope
to hear
back from you,
I took a look at the web site and there seems to be a 30K OS X
installer..
which I am guessing does NOT have everything that is needed.
Looking into
the "1.36.0" directory there are lots and lots of downloads..
which I am not
really prepared to start clicking like made.
The 30K OS X installer is for Leopard or newer; it downloads the Boost
libraries you request on-the-fly, as part of installation. I can build
a monolithic installer as well (which will work on Tiger and newer).
I know this is a work in progress so I am assuming the installer
packages
for OS X are just still being worked on?
They're in pretty good shape, I think, although we can certainly clean
up the presentation somewhat.
Also, do you need a tester for OS X? I am running 10.4.11 Intel
and would be
happy to try and setup some sort of script to download and test
regularly.
I'll have to leave the testing question to Troy, who is our testing
guru. If you'd like to test out a binary installer for 10.4 (Tiger),
I'd be happy to go build one for you.
- Doug
You can build one or I can build one. I have a few projects that use
filesystem, threads, test and program options so it would be a nice
test to see if your installer works for me on my system.
Really I just need a static-multi-threaded build with debug and
release. Again. I can pull from SVN and try myself if that would be
better.
One note on the Leopard installer. I frequently do work behind
firewalls that will not let these types of installers work** so there
probably should be the option for a monolithic installer for OS X
Tiger and above.
** - I have yet to come across an installer that actually worked from
behind the types of firewalls that I work. Just FYI and Food for
thought.
Great work on this package BTW.
