[ptx] hugin on OSX

[Daniel M. German]

I was finally able to compile all the sources under 10.3 and I want to
add my comments to ippei's (I can't link it yet, but that seems to be
a Makefile issue, I am looking at Audacity to update the autoconf
process).

With the current CVS version of hugin, it still requires some boost
sources. One problem with that there is one #ifndef that messes the
compilation (related to boost threading). Boost will complain:


         /sw/include/boost/config/requires_threads.hpp:47:5: #error
         "Compiler threading support is not turned on. Please set the
         correct command line options for threading: -pthread (Linux),
         -pthreads (Solaris) or -mthreads (Mingw32)"

I found a work-around:

         http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2004/09/7998.php

It is just a matter of modifying: /sw/include/boost/config/platform/macos.hpp


 Ippei> However, it might help the development process if commandline  
 Ippei> compilation can compile HuginOSX against the local system just like  
 Ippei> in the other platforms. (At least saves me from updating the XCode  
 Ippei> project file every time a new file is created on CVS.)

This is my goal, although I seem to be very slow understanding the
intricacies of OS X.

 Ippei> If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.  
 Ippei> Also, I can provide a copy of my working repository if you like to  
 Ippei> skip compiling the required libraries by yourself.


Thanks Ippei!
