Downloaded the latest code from master, and followed the tutorial here https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender/Mac.

Got it working by modifying CMake to include "WITH_BOOST". I would like to update the tutorial but I cannot find any place to edit it, and the IRC seem to be abandon.

What exactly you'd like to edit? Did you first run make update under source tree before cmake/cmake gui?

It should not be necessary to manually set WITH_BOOST in any case, that would indicate a bug in the build system that needs to be fixed.

It should not be necessary to manually set `WITH_BOOST` in any case, that would indicate a bug in the build system that needs to be fixed.

I wasn't able to repro this. Building with XCode worked for me.

@mgchris what steps did you do?

@ArtoKitula I used CMake GUI (3.14.0-rc2).
Steps:

Get latest code from master (From commit b9a37dd97acf6c4254e8246add7af05d68c8bf64).
Deleted my output folder (Where to build the binaries)
In CMake GUI clicked Configure and waited for it to finish
In CMake GUI clicked Generate and waited for it to finish
Open Xcode selected the install Scheme (Note it might be better to say Press Command+shift+, instead of Command-<)
Have Xcode Automatically Create Schemes. (Maybe update the docs saying to select that option?)
Changed Executable to blender.app
Build and get 30 build errors relating to Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: for a bunch of boost methods.

If I repeat the process except I select WITH_BOOST before step 3, everything builds and runs correctly.
