[Discuss-gnuradio] OSX, Xcode 5.1, Boost, UHD, GNU Radio, and MacPorts

[Michael Dickens]

Xcode 5.1 is for both OSX 10.8 and 10.9 only, so this "note" applies to both of 
those OSX versions.

The new Xcode 5.1 breaks Boost compilation, which in turn breaks UHD and GNU 
Radio compilation (in similar ways).  Boost upstream already issued a patch to 
fix this issue, and it is already incorporated in MacPorts.  So, before you try 
to install or upgrade UHD or any of the GNU Radio ports within MacPorts, you'll 
want to do the following, minimally:

{{{
sudo port sync
sudo port upgrade boost
}}}

or, if you want to be thorough:

{{{
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated
}}}

Once Boost has been updated (to, currently, 1.55.0 revision 2), UHD and all the 
GNU Radio ports should build cleanly as with Xcode 5.0 or earlier. - MLD
