Installing PySide - OSX

Anyone had success installing and using PySide on OSX? I a开发者_开发问答m following the install instructions on the PySide site, though I'm running into issues building the API Extractor. I run cmake on the CMakeLists.txt file inside the api extractor dir and:

This error is thrown-

CMake Error at /Applications/CMake 2.8-0.app/Contents/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:894 (message):
  Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

  Unable to find the Boost header files.  Please set BOOST_ROOT to the root
  directory containing Boost or BOOST_INCLUDEDIR to the directory containing
  Boost's headers.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:5 (find_package)

I am new to building source w/ cmake and I'm not event really sure what Boost is. Any light you might shed on the set up process would be great.

Thanks

You may want to check the newest release of PySide, out very recently, I believe the dependency on the Boost libraries has been removed.

It's a set of quite widespread C++ libraries, they're probably needed by PySide, even though I've never tried it.

Download them from there: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.42.0/

Otherwise, you can install them from macports: http://www.macports.org once you've installed macports, just run "sudo port install boost". Unluckily, pyside itself doesn't seem to be in macports yet.
