Hi,
Boost Thread library not build for iPhone simulator with version 1.55.0. Only for iPhone (all architectures).

I'm more of a java/ruby/py guy, so this boost build stuff is really out of my wheelhouse. These are probably noob problems.

I've got Xcode 5.0.2 on os x 10.9.1, compiling boost 1.54 against the iOS 7 sdk. First issue was, I tried running the script unmodified, which attempted to build almost all of the boost libs. I hit a "cannot use precompiled-header output with multiple arch options" issue. Google seemed to think some header files were being passed as compiler inputs, but I couldn't figure out which of the boost libs was the culprit. I changed boost libs to just "serializer system", which are all we use, and that error went away.

Next issue was that in the built boost.framework, all the header files are in the Headers folder. In older boost.frameworks we'd built using other variants of this script, the headers were in Headers/boost/. In our source, include statements like <boost/whatever> were failing because boost/ was no longer in the header's relative path.

I altered your script to put the headers under a boost folder, and then hit the next snag: when compiling my project, Xcode choked on boost/detail/endian.hpp, which attempts to include sys/endian.h. Looks like in iossdk, it should be arm/endian.h or machine/endian.h.

I'm not using the c++11 flags. I'm going to try 1.53 and 1.55 now.

So I modified the script to only build the boost locale module.

I replaced

: ${BOOST_LIBS:="chrono context filesystem graph_parallel iostreams locale mpi program_options python regex serialization signals system thread timer wave"}
BOOST_LIBS="$BOOST_LIBS date_time graph math random test exception"

to
${BOOST_LIBS:="locale"}
BOOST_LIBS="$BOOST_LIBS"

then ran ./boost.sh clean -v 1.55.0, having the boost_1_55_0.tar.bz2 in the same folder

and it completed successfully but when I use it as a framework in iOS, I would get undefined symbol errors for arm7, i386 etc

Undefined symbols for architecture i386:
"boost::locale::base_message_format<char>::id", referenced from:
  boost::locale::basic_message<char>::write(std::__1::locale const&, int, std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> >&) const in 

I looked at the framework and got this:

file boost.framework/boost
boost.framework/boost: Mach-O universal binary with 5 architectures
boost.framework/boost (for architecture armv7): current ar archive random library
boost.framework/boost (for architecture armv7s):    current ar archive random library
boost.framework/boost (for architecture i386):  current ar archive random library
boost.framework/boost (for architecture x86_64):    current ar archive random library
boost.framework/boost (for architecture cputype (16777228) cpusubtype (0)): current ar archive

so I looked more closely to the log and found this

/Users/shawnlee-kwong/work/code/boost-xcode5-iosx/osx/build/x86_64: libboost_locale.a   obj
rm: /Users/shawnlee-kwong/work/code/boost-xcode5-iosx/osx/build/*/libboost.a: No such file or directory

so I investigated the stack trace and found this when trying to bjam the iphone build

- iconv (libc)             : no
- iconv (separate)         : no
- icu                      : no
- icu (lib64)              : no
- Boost.Locale needs either iconv or ICU library to be built.
- Boost.Locale needs either iconv or ICU library to be built.
- Boost.Locale needs either iconv or ICU library to be built.
- Boost.Locale needs either iconv or ICU library to be built.
- Boost.Locale needs either iconv or ICU library to be built.
- Boost.Locale needs either iconv or ICU library to be built.

For the other builds like simulator and osx it did find iconv, as an example

- iconv (libc)             : no
- iconv (separate)         : yes
- icu                      : no
- icu (lib64)              : no

So I was wondering if anyone had an idea about iconv or ICU for the iphone build.

Hey,

I am using xcode 5.1.1 and trying to deploy to an ios 7.1 device and am on a mac.

I was trying to use your script to build boost for my ios project but I ran into a little problem. I included the framework and followed all of your instructions as well as looked at the code examples and downloaded the vendor.tar so I was sure there wouldn't be a problem with me building the framework.

I opened the boost-xcode5-demo in xcode, linked to the boost framework that I mentioned above and built it under one of the simulators. It worked and I was happy but then I selected "iOS Device" and then I get the typical undefined symbols for architecture arm7s. I am familiar with this problem relating to the framework itself not being built properly. So I was wondering if you know what is wrong.

Thanks,

PS. Here is a snippet of the error

Undefined symbols for architecture armv7s:
"boost::atomics::detail::lockpool::get_lock_for(void const volatile*)", referenced from:
boost::thread_detail::enter_once_region(boost::once_flag&) in boost(libboost_thread_once.o)

boost::thread_detail::rollback_once_region(boost::once_flag&) in boost(libboost_thread_once.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7s
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Hello,
If I put boost source file into root and run script I'm getting "file not found" because of using "-d". If I replace it with "-a" it works. Here is a place in script:

[ -d $BOOST_TARBALL ] || ( echo "No such file: $BOOST_TARBALL"; abort )

Maybe I'm doing something wrong and it requires not file but directory?

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!

Hello ,

I am trying out your script but I got bunch of errors.
I am under OSX 10.8.4 and Xcode 5.0.1 with the command line tools no other xcode are available. I have the 1.53 tar for boost and I cloned your script and I ran

I got something like this when I execute ./boost.sh --version 1.53.0

I had to build boost for an iOS app 6 months ago and I used the Goodliffe script back then. I just updated to Mavericks and cant get the script to work, so I'm trying to nail down what changed between Mountain Lion and Mavericks that might have affected the build process.

Hardware: Late 2013 MacBookPro 2.7ghz i7 16gb

Environment:
OSX: 10.9 mavericks
Ruby 1.8.7 & 2.0.0 (using rbenv)
XCode 5.0.2
Compilers: Xcode llvm 5, gcc-4.2 (via homebrew), clang++
C++ Dialect / STDLIB: C++11 / libc++ (LLVM C++ stdlib with C11)

I actually got the .framework to compile late last night (following the Stack Overflow answer you cited in issue #1) and verified the FAT FILE using lipo -info boost which results in:

Architectures in the fat file: boost are: armv7 armv7s i386 x86_64 arm64

XCode Errors Building w/ compiled boost.framework

But Xcode 5 (iOS SDK 7.0) is still not happy

Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
  "boost::thread::start_thread()", referenced from:
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

AND 

Undefined symbols for architecture armv7s:
  "boost::thread::start_thread()", referenced from:
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7s
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Boost.sh Errors

During the build process there are a few errors while "Decomposing libboost_thread.a" such as

I'm going through the script now to verify everything is being placed in the correct directory during building (before we try to lipo them together). My feeling is that the libboost_thread library isn't being lipo'd correctly but the FAT file still shows armv7 and armv7s as bundled architectures.

Thanks for your help and all the work on this script, of all the available boost.sh scripts yours is the only one that seems to work with OSX 10.9 / XCode 5 / iOS 7!
