I want to build Boost from source on different platforms. I've been able to do that on linux (on a docker image). I'm also able to do this on my own computer (Mac OS X 10.13 Xcode 9.4.1) but when I try the same thing on circleci image (using Xcode 9.4.1) it fails with the following error:
It's probably not very relevant but I use cGet to resolve my dependencies including Boost. In this case, cGet is merely downloading Boost and running the b2 command. This is the output:
I am explicitly trying to use GNU compiler and linker and as you can see in the output, toolset is getting passed to the b2 command properly yet I get the --soname name issue. I understand that it can be fixed by using install_name but that's something b2 has to fix, right?
