Hi, We compiled the latest RegEx library on: 1. SunOS 5.8 Workshop 6: We used the sunpro.mak makefile. Unfortunately, we received many error messages regarding conversions from enum to int and vice versa. 2. HP-UX 11.11 aCC 3.33: We used the generic.mak makeilfe. We got an error regarding dynamic_cast from char*& to char*. In both cases, we didn't run the configure script in libs/config, because if we do, we get many compilation errors (probably because of the #define-s in the created user.hpp). Are you aware of these problems? or are we doing something wrong? Is it imperative that we run the configure script and not use the default user.hpp? On top of that, we managed to overcome the problems I mentioned by simply specifing explicit conversion and casting, and we compiled RegEx on Forte 6 with the 64-bit compilation flag. The compilation worked, but unfortunately, the tests failed. (I mean, the compiled okay and run, but they say that tests.txt contains errors - something that didn't happen when compiling the 32-bit version). What can we do to make it work in 64-bits?

does boost regex support 64-bit for SunOS 5.8, HP-UX 11i (native compilers), WIN (MSVC-6) ? we are using an old(?) version - regexpp version 3.12. Is it recommended to upgrade to the latest version ? Is it essential to upgrade to the latest version with relevance to 64-bit compilation ?
64-bit support should be fine in most recent versions (there was a 64-bit related bug in one release, but I forget which one now, it was some time ago now). However the compilers you mention are particularly broken when it come to compiling any kind of vaguely advanced C++ : The sun compiler should just about handle regex, as will MSVC 6, but HP aCC is just so broken we've never been able to port even the most basic Boost libraries to it, sorry... but see also http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg63570.php
