errors compiling on Mac 10.13.2 (High Sierra)

Question

What am I missing here? 2 compile errors after following instructions.

There's a branch in the repository that fixes this compilation error:

https://github.com/MultiChain/multichain/tree/1.0.x-mac-fix

Comments

I replaced the file json_spirit_ubjson.cpp with the patched version.

Compilation proceeds but then I get a linker error:

Can you please try checking out and then compiling the entire fork, so we're sure you're working to the same overall codebase as we see?

This is what I get when attempting to build on OS X using 1.0.x-mac-fix (using boost 1.55);

And when using the latest boost 1.66;

2 warnings and 6 errors generated.
