Greetings,

Here's whats happening: bash ./build.sh ### ### Using 'gcc' toolset. ### rm -rf bootstrap.gcc mkdir bootstrap.gcc gcc -o bootstrap.gcc/jam0 command.c compile.c execnt.c execunix.c execvms.c expand.c filent.c fileos2.c fileunix.c filevms.c glob.c hash.c hdrmacro.c headers.c jam.c jambase.c jamgram.c lists.c make.c make1.c newstr.c option.c parse.c pathunix.c pathvms.c regexp.c rules.c scan.c search.c subst.c timestamp.c variable.c modules.c strings.c filesys.c builtins.c pwd.c ./bootstrap.gcc/jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=gcc --toolset-root= build.jam:66: in module scope *** argument error * rule toolset ( name command : opt.out + : opt.define + : release-flags * : debug-flags * : linklibs * ) * called with: ( cc /eng/tools/cm/solaris/bin/gcc -m64 : -o : -D : -s -O : -g : ) * extra argument build.jam:39:see definition of rule 'toolset' being called

This is run via script. If I run it interactively it builds fine. I'm trying to script up building boost+ many other third party packages for many platforms. Any idea why it fails when run via a script? Yes. It's having problems with the value of "CC" env variable "/eng/tools/cm/solaris/bin/gcc -m64". Try clearing that value out before running the build.sh script.

I'll fix the real problem in the version of bjam :-) WoW.. Fast answer. Thanks. That did the trick.

I guess, how do I get bjam to build with the gcc I want and with -m64 (or 64 bits)?

Set CC to only the compiler "/eng/tools/cm/solaris/bin/gcc", and set CFLAGS to "-m64", then invoke "./build.sh cc". But it's not like you need to. The default compiler should work just fine even if it's not 64 bit. Or is there some particular reason why you need to compile it in 64 bit mode?

NOTE: AFAIK bjam has never been tested in 64 bit addressing operation.

I guess I meant to build the boost libraries with my specific gcc 64 bit on solaris. Thanks, Bill
