boost port file does not properly include isysroot

[James Gregurich]

Did the last message in the thread escape your notice?

Did Landon download the work, look at it and give me feedback like I asked?  I only know of one person who did that…and it wasn't Landon. It wasn't hard, all you had to do was download the zip file, unpack it to the root directory and invoke 'port' commands on it. I would have taken a few hours of time for an experienced developer to review the changes and comment on the appropriateness of the changes…perhaps make recommendations alternative approaches or additional work that needed to be done.

If someone had told me, "yes, this looks good. we are interested in this work, but we need the following additional work done….or do it some other way" I would have made the additional effort.  


As for submitting a diff now…. this work is a year out of date. It would probably need to be started from scratch given the project's code has likely evolved significantly since then. I still have the zip file some where on my system, but I'm busy with other things. I have no time to spend on this effort any more.

If someone else wants the work and wants to pick up the ball and run with it, he can have the zip file. But I've moved on.  


Again I make the statement….  I didn't come here to complain that my work wasn't accepted. It was merely answering Daniel's point that I should make effort to update the system. I did make that effort.

I didn't know much about the internals of macports and I didn't known anything about TCL. I figured out most of the details as I went along. I'd like to turn the work over to someone more qualified than I am in scripting langauges and macports to complete the project.

I can provide a list of the files I changed and some explanation on what was changed. I basically attempted to piggy-back target/host support on top of the existing variables without changing their function. The approach is fine for proof-of-concept, but the the underlying variables such as os.version and such should be modified and/or renamed to make the design cleaner. However, that task should be done by someone who knows the internals very well and who knows how the changes will affect existing ports.  I did have to modify the ICU port file because it has some custom steps that need to be done before its configure script will succeed for a cross-compile. I also had to make an adjustment because of the lack of tzfile.h in the target OS.

I had 5 or 6 ports (including complex ones such as boost) building simultaneously for MacOSX and iOS as universal binaries on both.
