在mac os x mountain lion上安装boost_1_53_0

Question

I want to install boost on my freshly installed mac os x mountain lion.

I've downloaded boost_1_53_0 and followed every step of every guides I could find but I keep ending with the same error which is: "Failed to build Boost.Build build engine" .

It won't even build and can't even find ./b2 to install..

Is there anyone who could help me out here and tell me how to install boost without using macports?

bootstrap.log:

Use Homebrew (or see Homebrew's building way )

then brew install boost
