Met the same error :(

Do you not have boost installed?

Chris, I do. I installed beforehand via "brew install boost". Any other ideas?

i solved that, just compile the boost with a cxxflag -stdlib=libstdc++.

And recompile you project with libstdc++ too

brew compiles boost with libc++ instead of libstdc++

Thanks imbolo. Where do i put that flag? Whats the best way to install boost on Mac OS X with that flag included?

@llSourcell In the makefile.osx, you should add a line 'CFLAGS += -stdlib=libstdc++' after the CFLAGS's definition. And add add the below to the .pro file. macx: { QMAKE_CFLAGS += -stdlib=libstdc++ QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -stdlib=libstdc++ QMAKE_LFLAGS += -stdlib=libstdc++ }

You can build boost from source by using the command

./b2 --toolset=clang cxxflags="-stdlib=libstdc++" linkflags="-stdlib=libstdc++" variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static --build-dir=build --build-type=minimal stage --with-program_options --with-system --with-filesystem --with-chrono --with-thread
