Errors during bjam init

[godexsoft]

Hi. Trying to build boost using the script for two days straight.
My configuration is Xcode 5.0.2 from appstore on macosx 10.8.5. Here is what i think is the important bit:

As you can see bjam does not detect iphone sdk at all. Also i tried to add echo logs to darwin.jam in order to see what's going on. It selects the default root which is /Developer. I even tried to link my /Application/Xcode.app/... stuff into /Developer so that it hopefully will pick it up but no luck at all.

I found a prebuilt version which seems to work but the problem is i need a custom one built with gnu stdlib and gnu c++ 98 in order to make it work with my project which has a lot of legacy libs which wont work with c++11 on clang and it's way too much pain to make that stuff compile (the project is literally huge).

Please let me know if you got any ideas. Thanks!

I don't quite know where to look for, but maybe simple checklist would help.
Since it can't find "iphone-7.0" maybe you don't have all the tools and SDK installed.
After installing Xcode, did you install Xcode Command Line Tools? You can do it from Xcode preferences or using xcode-select --install.

Nothing could go wrong with that features.jam file. The only file modified in boost source is tools/build/v2/user-config.jam.

I tried both setting it from Xcode prefs as well as using sudo xcode-select --switch on command line.
Since yesterday I also tried to install the latest beta xcode with 7.1 sdk but none of the sdks will appear in the legal values list.

If i manually modify darwin.jam to select the root to be /Applications/Xcode.app/... instead of the default /Developer then it actually will pick up the iphone-7.0 as valid macosx-version. BUT if i do that obviously it fails when it gets to the simulator and osx parts of the build.

Any other pointers or suggestions?
Thanks!

Just some more infos about my env:

godexsoft@abyss:/Development/libs/boost-xcode5-iosx$ xcrun --sdk iphoneos --show-sdk-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS7.0.sdk
godexsoft@abyss:/Development/libs/boost-xcode5-iosx$ xcrun --sdk iphoneos --show-sdk-platform-path

Hi, I have identical output for all these commands

grebenetsm@NDMML1005567:boost-xcode5-iosx$ xcrun --sdk iphoneos --show-sdk-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS7.0.sdk
grebenetsm@NDMML1005567:boost-xcode5-iosx$ xcrun --sdk iphoneos --show-sdk-platform-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform
grebenetsm@NDMML1005567:boost-xcode5-iosx$ find /Applications/Xcode.app/ -name "iPhoneOS7*"
/Applications/Xcode.app//Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS7.0.sdk
grebenetsm@NDMML1005567:boost-xcode5-iosx$ find /Applications/Xcode.app/ -name "clang++"
/Applications/Xcode.app//Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang++
grebenetsm@NDMML1005567:boost-xcode5-iosx$ xcode-select --print-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
grebenetsm@NDMML1005567:boost-xcode5-iosx$

and paths like this for simulator SDK

grebenetsm@NDMML1005567:boost-xcode5-iosx$ xcrun --sdk iphonesimulator --show-sdk-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator7.0.sdk
grebenetsm@NDMML1005567:boost-xcode5-iosx$ xcrun --sdk iphonesimulator --show-sdk-platform-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform
grebenetsm@NDMML1005567:boost-xcode5-iosx$

What does your user-config.jam in $BOOST_SRC/tools/build/v2/ look like after running build.sh?

[godexsoft]

It looks exactly as it should based on boost.sh:

using darwin : 7.0~iphone
   : /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang++ -arch armv7 -arch armv7s -arch arm64 -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -DBOOST_AC_USE_PTHREADS -DBOOST_SP_USE_PTHREADS
   : <striper> <root>/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs
   : <architecture>arm <target-os>iphone
   ;
using darwin : 7.0~iphonesim
   : /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang++ -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -DBOOST_AC_USE_PTHREADS -DBOOST_SP_USE_PTHREADS
   : <striper><root>/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs
   : <architecture>x86 <target-os>iphone
   ;

I also have exactly the same output for everything on both my laptop and my office iMac. Surprisingly it worked on iMac w/o any trouble. Any ideas? I thought maybe it had to do with case sensitivity of the filesystem but both setups are default - case insensitive.

Any more ideas/pointers?
Спасибо!

Привет.
Sorry for late response.
Can't really tell what could be the reason. From my experience, the build normally is OK on "clean" systems. By "clean" I mean OS X at least 10.7 or upgraded from 10.7; and system that never had Xcode older than 4.x installed. I don't really know the details, but Xcode 3.2 was installed not in /Applications and apparently was more tightly integrated into the system toolchains.

That's the only thing I could suggest. I've seen some old scripts used to uninstall older Xcode versions, but those don't seem to help much.

I wish I could help more.

i have got the same error on my Mac. The reason was very simple - I already had boost installed in usr/local and there was another user-config.jam in my home directory (/Users/...)
After removing user-config.jam from home directory errors gone.
