Compile cc-tool

Following 1 :

brew install autoconf automake libusb boost pkgconfig libtool ##install needed tools to compile the tool :-D
git clone https://github.com/dashesy/cc-tool.git
cd cc-tool\

Then, be sure to use clang++ instead g++ from macport or wathever you have in path. Include boost (c++) library from system (homebrew automagically symlink them under /opt/local/{bin,include}) like:

CC=/opt/local/bin/clang \
CXX=/opt/local/bin/clang++ \
LDFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include \
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include \
 ./bootstrap

CC=/opt/local/bin/clang \
CXX=/opt/local/bin/clang++ \
LDFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include \
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include \
 ./configure

make

## now test the executable
./cc-tool --help

I'm on Sonoma 14.3 and get this error:

error: cannot find Boost headers version >= 1.74.0

I have to run bootstrap & configure with sudo to get here.
