Mac Compile Fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download boost source and setup config.py
2. add 'using darwin : : /usr/bin/g++-4.2 ;' to tools/build/v2/user-config.jam
3. run setup.py build

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The software should compile, but instead it fails with a number of strange 
errors.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

latest svn version on Mac OSX 

Please provide any additional information below.

I think I figured it out:  the way to get it to compile is to edit 
tools/build/v2/user-config.jam and set your python 
framework, then edit bjamcompiler.py and change "using gcc :  :  g++" to "using 
darwin : : ${configure.cxx}" 
where configure.cxx is your c++ compiler.  I'm compiling now and will post a 
(very hackish) macports Port file if 
it works.

Okay - the above fixed the compilation problems.  Now version 885 from svn 
compiles for Mac OSX, but I get all 
sorts of  floating point exceptions and seg faults when I try to run any of the 
examples from the website.  I think 
that this might be related to the 32bit vs. 64bit issue.  Are there any reports 
of pyopencv actually working on a 
64bit machine?

Please let me know how I can help get this software up and running.  I think it 
would be tremendously useful for 
many people.

Hi abergou,

So sorry for my late response. I have had a very busy week last week. 
Currently, I do
not have access to a Mac OS X platform, so I don't know how I can help you. 
Thanks
for the tip about changing "using gcc : : g++" to "using darwin : :
${configure.cxx}". It is very helpful. Perhaps, it can help me to solve some 
other
problems with Linux distributions, too. 

It has been reported very recently that PyOpenCV is compilable on a 64-bit 
machine
(issue 11). However, I haven't upgraded my system from 32-bit to 64-bit yet. 
Thus, I
am not entirely sure if all 64-bit bugs have been fixed.

I will keep this issue open until I manage to install PyOpenCV on a Mac OSX 
platform
myself, making sure that it runs smoothly.

Cheers,
Minh-Tri

Hi Minh-Tri,

Thanks for your reply - hope that the "using darwin" section indeed helps.  I 
will try to help out on my end and 
see where the issue is.  It looks like a 32-bit vs. 64-bit issue to me.
