Supported version: 1.78.0 (use the appropriate tag to select the version)

This repo provides a universal script for building static Boost C++ libraries for use in iOS and Mac OS X & Catalyst applications. The latest supported Boost version is taken from: https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.78.0/source/boost_1_78_0.tar.bz2

atomic, chrono, container, context, contract, coroutine, date_time, exception, fiber, filesystem, graph, iostreams, json, locale, log, math, nowide, program_options, random, regex, serialization, stacktrace, system, test, thread, timer, type_erasure, wave

1. Xcode must be installed because xcodebuild is used to create xcframeworks
2. xcode-select -p must point to Xcode app developer directory (by default e.g. /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer). If it points to CommandLineTools directory you should execute: sudo xcode-select --reset or sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
3. You should not have your own user-config.jam file in your home directory!

1. Libraries 'locale' and 'regex' are being built with ICU backend. ICU build scripts are being taken from https://github.com/apotocki/icu4c-iosx and run with the help of 'pod' utility.
2. 'test' library is building for iOS with BOOST_TEST_NO_MAIN flag.

• Manually

    # clone the repo
    git clone -b 1.78.0 https://github.com/apotocki/boost-iosx
    
    # build libraries
    cd boost-iosx
    scripts/build.sh

    # have fun, the result artifacts will be located in 'frameworks' folder.
    # Then you can add desirable xcframewors in your XCode project. The process is described, e.g., at https://www.simpleswiftguide.com/how-to-add-xcframework-to-xcode-project/

• Use cocoapods. Add the following lines into your project's Podfile:

    use_frameworks!
    pod 'boost-iosx', '~> 1.78.0'
    # or optionally more precisely e.g.:
    # pod 'boost-iosx', :git => 'https://github.com/apotocki/boost-iosx', :tag => '1.78.0.1'

If you want to use particular boost libraries, specify them as in the following example for log and program_options libraries:

    pod 'boost-iosx/log', '~> 1.78.0'
    pod 'boost-iosx/program_options', '~> 1.78.0'
    # note: Some libraries have dependencies on other Boost libraries. In that case, you should explicitly add all their dependencies to your Podfile.

Then install new dependencies:

   pod install --verbose
