x86 Mac binaries (which should work on Tiger and above) are available here: http://www.osl.iu.edu/~dgregor/Boost-1.40.0-Darwin.dmg It's one big, 38MB installer. By flipping a switch in the CMake configuration, we can create a smaller installer that downloads only the selected components on-the-fly. However, I haven't figured out where to permanently host the downloaded package files. Also, for the real installer, we might want to build PowerPC/x86/x86_64 fat binaries, since that's the "right" way to distribute libraries on the Mac. - Doug _______________________________________________ Boost-cmake mailing list Boost-cmake@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-cmake
