[Jean-Paul Louis <louijp@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think that it is what happened to me. I had boost 1.55 AND 1.56 installed in my machine, and the cmake was forcing a build of 1.54.

When I removed the 1.55 and the 1.56, things got a lot better, and the builds succeeded.

I cannot check right now, as I am upgrading to OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), and I need to completely rebuild my development toolchain.

I am struggling with the macports right now.

TTYL,
Jean-Paul
