Boost 1.54 build error under OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion

Question

Most of the boost libraries built successfully under mountain lion using xcode command line tool. But received 4 errors during built:

./boost/utility/result_of.hpp:174
./boost/proto/transform/default.hpp:135
./boost/log/detail/light_function_pp.hpp:280
./boost/log/detail/custom_terminal_spec.hpp:54

Does anyone face the same issue? And how can I resolve the errors?

Just tried to build under Linux this morning and received the same error. Using gcc 4.1.2.

Full error messages:

Answer 1

With the hint from Igor R, I tried gcc 4.8.1 on linux which works well. Then I think c++11 might play a role in the errors and tried to find how to get c++11. So eventually I got it to work. XCode comes with two sets of tool. gcc front-end + llvm backend and clang front-end + llvm backend. The gcc version is old as on my machine ( 4.2 ), the clang supports c++11, so once I use "toolset=clang", I can compile everything successfully.
