Thanks John, that did it. I had to interrupt and wipe the directory but after that, the build completed successfully!
Thanks a bunch!

Jean,

Indeed, I mixed up perl and python syntax. The line should be
module_cmakeargs['boost'] = '-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="' + os.environ['CXXFLAGS'] + ' 
-std=c++17"'

Note the single quotes around the python arguments and the double quotes 
setting off the string value passed to -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS.

Regards,
John Ralls

Something must be wrong with the syntax you suggested. Since I don't know my 
jhbuild at all, I don't know how to fix this.

It's because C++17 is set in GnuCash's CMakeLists.txt and boost defaults to 
building for C++14. I'd forgotten that I'd pushed that to the public master 
branch. I think the simplest way to rebuild it for you would be to add
    module_cmakeargs['boost'] = '-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=' . os.environ['CXXFLAGS'] . 
' -std=c++17'
to jhbuildrc-custom then run
    jhbuild buildone --force --clean boost
If that doesn't work on its own try doing the buildone again but stop it and 
tell it to wipe the directory and start over.

John, is this going to work with xcode?
Also, will that affect my maint branch (I have two separate build dirs for 
maint and master)?
Jean
Jean,
If you mean can you do that in Xcode, no you can't.
Boost needs to be built to the highest standard you want to use, so it will 
still link with maint, which is built to C++11.
