# Builds a Boost framework for the iPhone.
# Creates a set of universal libraries that can be used on an iPhone and in the
# iPhone simulator. Then creates a pseudo-framework to make using boost in Xcode
# less painful.
#
# To configure the script, define:
#    BOOST_LIBS:        which libraries to build
#    BOOST_VERSION:     version number of the boost library (e.g. 1_41_0)
#    IPHONE_SDKVERSION: iPhone SDK version (e.g. 3.0)
#
# Then go get the source tar.bz of the boost you want to build, shove it in the
# same directory as this script, and run "./boost.sh". Grab a cuppa. And voila.

: ${BOOST_VERSION:=1_53_0}
: ${BOOST_LIBS:="thread signals filesystem regex program_options system graph date_time"}
: ${IPHONE_SDKVERSION:=6.1}
: ${EXTRA_CPPFLAGS:="-DBOOST_AC_USE_PTHREADS -DBOOST_SP_USE_PTHREADS"}

# The EXTRA_CPPFLAGS definition works around a thread race issue in
# shared_ptr. I encountered this historically and have not verified that
# the fix is no longer required. Without using the posix thread primitives
# an invalid compare-and-swap ARM instruction (non-thread-safe) was used for the
# shared_ptr use count causing nasty and subtle bugs.
#
# Should perhaps also consider/use instead: -BOOST_SP_USE_PTHREADS

Just to help and save other developers time

I've made a repository which contains Boost and OpenSSL built and ready for iOS and macOS architectures.

Includes thread-safe libraries aswell!
