Prerequisites listed include Boost.

My question is: What is the recommended way to build/install Boost for TextMate building?

Using homebrew is the easiest, this should take care of all prerequisites:

brew install ragel boost multimarkdown hg ninja capnp 

google-sparsehash libressl

...

Using Homebrew, boost has additional options and they seem possibly valuable but also potentially problematic.

TextMate only use a few header-only libraries from boost, so I don?t think any of the options have any effect on TextMate.

Ah. I didn't even think to survey the header includes. Thanks it's exactly what I wanted to know! I might run it through Doxygen to get a list easily going forward. Thanks! JJ
