#14 Build on MacOS

[Witold Eryk]

Hi, I am trying to build SAINT on mac OS with make -j . but the build fails, since there are no binaries in the bin directory.

Could you give some advice how to build SAINT on MacOS.

I am attaching the output of stderr and stdout when running make -j.

the problem seems to be related to "

Failed to build Boost.Build build engine
Consult 'bootstrap.log' for more details
/bin/sh: ./b2: No such file or directory
make: *** [boost] Error 127
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
yes

Help greatly appreciated.

What did you download?

I have not tested it to compile in Mac.
Do you have access to Windows or Linux machines? If you do, there are compiled binaries in the Precompiled_binariesfolder in the tar.gz file.

Just recently moved to mac. Although I was able to build the binary on linux, I just recently moved to mac. I would be great if you could provide build instructions for this platform.

Being able to build a software from source allows to have more confidence and trust in the software. Some build instructions for Windows would also be great.

I am looking forward to the build instructions, and thank you so much for looking into it.
