Install boost on OS X via homebrew with c++11 and libc++

[c***@gmail.com]

I'm trying to install boost on OS X with c++11 and libc++. I'm using
homebrew (boost formular with the --build-from-source argument) and
have tried various options with adding stuff like

* toolset=clang
* cxxflags="-stdlib=libc++ -std=c++11"
* cxxflags="-stdlib=libc++"
* linkflags="-stdlib=libc++ -std=c++11"
* linkflags="-stdlib=libc++"

as arguments to bjam, but it all fails.

Now... The "toolset" part doesn't do anything to make it fail though,
its the cxx- and linkflags part that does.

This is what I get when it fails

clang-darwin.archive
bin.v2/libs/exception/build/clang-darwin-4.2.1/release/link-
static/threading-multi/libboost_exception-mt.a
common.copy /usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.50.0/lib/libboost_exception-mt.a

How do I get boost installed on OS X Mountain Lion with c++11 and
libc++ preferably via homebrew for the ease it adds.

Almost everything built correctly as you
can see from the summary. Some library probably
doesn't compile with this compiler/standard library
combination. However, I can't tell which one,
since you snipped the actual error message and
only showed the end of the build log.

I opted for trying to compile it without homebrew to see if that
worked, and it worked better; now I also got up to the latest version
of boost, not 1.50 which homebrew used.

I call b2 with these arguments:

./b2 toolset=clang cxxflags="-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++"
linkflags="-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++" link=static

and it compiles all file. Then I have this[1] piece of code which I
try to compile with:

clang++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -g -Wall -v
-I/Users/cb/Downloads/boost_1_51_0 tests/arithmetic.cpp -o
tests/arithmetic
/Users/cb/Downloads/boost_1_51_0/stage/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework.a

And it fails miserably, giving me this[2] error.

Any ideas?

This guy figure the fault: http://stackoverflow.com/a/12402121/499997

To summarize, it set a define for using the dynamic library, but I
compiled and linked it statically.
