-+ It is known to work under 10.2.8 and 10.3 using + Apple's gcc 3.3 compiler: +The short answer: as of January 2003, unfortunately not.
- -The longer answer: using Mac OS 10.2.3 with the December Developer's - Kit, Python 2.3a1, and bjam's darwin-tools.jam, Boost.Python compiles - fine, including the examples. However, there are problems at runtime - (see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2003-January/003267.html). - Solutions are currently unknown.
- -It is known that under certain circumstances objects are - double-destructed. See http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2003-January/003278.html - for details. It is not clear however if this problem is related to the - Boost.Python runtime issues.

gcc (GCC) 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1493)+ Under 10.2.8 get the August 2003 gcc update (free at + http://connect.apple.com/). + Under 10.3 get the Xcode Tools v1.0 (also free). +
+ Python 2.3 is required. The Python that ships with 10.3 is + fine. Under 10.2.8 use these commands to install Python + as a framework: +
./configure --enable-framework +make +make frameworkinstall+ The last command requires root privileges because the target + directory is + /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3. + However, the installation does not interfere with the Python + version that ships with 10.2.8. +
+ It is also crucial to increase the stacksize before + starting compilations, e.g.: +
limit stacksize 8192k+ If the stacksize is too small the build might crash with + internal compiler errors.
