Command “/usr/bin/clang++ -bundle -undefined…” failed with exit status 1

Question

I'm trying to build a library "cmappertools" referencing to c++ "boost" in os x maverick, and hit the error below. I'm very new to both python and c++ boost, and can't even tell where to start looking: the "Missing compiler_cxx fix for UnixCCompiler" error didn't seem pointing me to anywhere. Any idea, please?

checking for exit in -lboost_thread-mt... yes
checking whether the Boost::Chrono library is available... yes
checking for exit in -lboost_chrono-mt... yes
checking whether C++ compiler accepts -fvisibility=hidden... yes
checking whether C++ compiler accepts -fno-common... yes
checking whether C++ compiler accepts -fvisibility-inlines-hidden... yes

You need to compile boost in combined 32/64 bit - it's only compiled for 64bit mode.

If you installed boost via brew , you should have added the --universal option to the install command.

If you were manually building boost, you should have added the options:

address-model=32_64 architecture=x86

to the b2 compile line. This will cause it to be built in 32 & 64 bit, which should support your python build.
