[Bug 481833] Re: MacPorts boost lib not detected on OS X

I used GCC directly. I used the exact steps you find in current instructions, 
and after having installed XCode, its included GCC 4.2.1 is the default GCC 
compiler on my system.

I know, this was exactly my point also.

[ Besides MacPorts, there is also Fink as a package manager, which uses /sw dir 
to store its files. I didn't make tests with it and linuxdcpp though. ]

Bug description:
Hi,

Tested with latest bzr repository, after installing all dependencies via MacPorts 1.8.1, 
this error remains when launching build with scons:
---
...
Checking for C++ header file boost/version.hpp... no
	boost not found.
	Note: You might have the lib but not the headers
---
boost headers *are* installed in /opt/local/include/boost/*, but it's not picked.
(all other MacPorts dependencies are recognized)

If I comment out the check in SConstruct and add -I/opt/local/include to CXXFLAGS, 
it builds correctly.
