[bug] boost/1.75.0: ERROR on macOS

[BZandi]

Describe the bug

I received the following error:

boost/1.75.0: ERROR: 
Package '6ccaf280d98af4efc6867514dba1f34ccc554e46' build failed
boost/1.75.0: WARN: Build folder /Users/papillonmacpro/.conan2/p/b/boost94c771922edfc/b/build-release
ERROR: boost/1.75.0: Error in build() method, line 1165
        self.run(full_command)
        ConanException: Error 1 while executing

I used the following conanfile.py:

import os
from conan import ConanFile


class CompresstoolsConan(ConanFile):
    settings = "os", "compiler", "build_type", "arch"
    generators = "CMakeToolchain", "CMakeDeps"

    def requirements(self):
        self.requires("pybind11/2.13.6", force=True)
        self.requires("boost/1.75.0", force=True)
        self.requires("eigen/3.3.9", force=True)
        self.requires("ceres-solver/2.0.0", force=True)
        self.requires("opencv/4.5.1", force=True)
        self.requires("zlib/1.2.13", force=True)
        self.requires("libwebp/1.3.2", force=True)

    def build_requirements(self):
        if self.settings.os != "Windows":
            self.tool_requires("cmake/3.30.5")

    def configure(self):
        if self.settings.compiler == "apple-clang":
            self.settings.compiler.cppstd = "14"

    def layout(self):
        # We make the assumption that if the compiler is msvc the
        # CMake generator is multi-config
        multi = True if self.settings.get_safe("compiler") == "msvc" else False
        if multi:
            self.folders.generators = os.path.join("build", "generators")
            self.folders.build = "build"
        else:
            self.folders.generators = os.path.join(
                "build", str(self.settings.build_type), "generators")
            self.folders.build = os.path.join(
                "build", str(self.settings.build_type))

Here are my setting:

Conan version 2.8.0
macOS: 15.0.1 
Chip: Apple M3 Max

======== Input profiles ========
Profile host:
[settings]
arch=armv8
build_type=Release
compiler=apple-clang
compiler.cppstd=gnu17
compiler.libcxx=libc++
compiler.version=16
os=Macos

Profile build:
[settings]
arch=armv8
build_type=Release
compiler=apple-clang
compiler.cppstd=gnu17
compiler.libcxx=libc++
compiler.version=16
os=Macos

How to reproduce it

conan profile detect --force
conan install . --output-folder=build --build=missing

Hi @BZandi

Thanks for your report. This might be more a recipe issue than a bug in the Conan client.
I am missing the actual build error, you are only posting the very last lines, but the actual build error is not there.

It is possible that boost/1.75 didn't have support to built with latest clang-armv8 (m3) in OSX.
I'd recommend to try the latest boost/1.86 (or at least a very recent version), and try again, in isolation (conan install --requires=boost/1.86 ...)
