I installed Boost with homebrew( brew install boost ) on my Mac running Lion

  • 0

I installed Boost with homebrew(brew install boost) on my Mac running Lion with the purpose of extending python with an existing C++ program I have. Now I can’t follow the starting guide because 1 – I don’t have ‘bjam’ installed in my system and 2-I don’t see the examples folder anywhere. My question is: how I am supposed to do the the c++-python linking with this homebrew installation without ‘bjam’? is there some alternative method I should use or something I am missing here?

    The right formula to install boost for linking c++ with python programs is:
    brew install boost-build
    as pointed out by senderle in the comments to my question. This installs bjam automatically.
