gcc.jam on the trunk has fixes for HP-UX, both ia64 and PA-RISC. For 64-bit build, you can specify the following in your user-config.jam: using gcc : : : <compileflags>"-mlp64" <linkflags>"-mlp64" ; There is no need to indicate archtiecture. Note that HP-UX/gcc testing on the trunk is done in 32-bit mode -- click on HP-UX_ia64_gcc to see user-config.jam I'm using and other details.
Threading: gcc.jam indicates that GCC on HP-UX does not support threading.
This is a bug in 1.34. Fixed in gcc.jam on the trunk.
Failing libs Zlibs and bzlib builds fail. How do I disable building them? Can the build fail and it's not a problem for the rest of the libraries.
You can pass the following options to bjam to disable zlib: --bjam-options="-sNO_BZIP2=1 -sNO_ZLIB=1"
Do I need to modify any of the source to work correctly? Would I be better off using a development build?
The best would be to use stable soon-to-be-released 1.35. gcc.jam in 1.35 is different from that on trunk, but, as far as I can tell, the differences are mostly "cosmetic" ones. Unfortunately, I cannot point you to 1.35 tests results on HP-UX/gcc. I asked permission to do release branch testing, but the request was denied. See http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/01/132329.php
Will boost work correctly on HP 11.31?
It does work on 11.31. I do boost testing with aCC6 on a 11.31 machine.
See test results for HP-UX_ia64_aCC, both trunk and release branch.
Thanks,
Boris

From:
A couple of questions for the HP gurus about Boost on HP-UX with GNU GCC. I see that the development builds target this configuration, but the 1.34 release does not, so I'm not sure that I can even do this with the 1.34 build. I am new to using bjam so be gnetle.
Platform: HP-UX, on itanium ia64, 11.23, building for 64 bit linker: hp-ux GCC:4.1.1 Boost:1.34
User config file: using gcc: : :<cxxflags>-mlp64 <linkflags>-mlp64

Threading: gcc.jam indicates that GCC on HP-UX does not support threading. We have built many libraries with threading using GCC so is this an old comment or is it specific to the gnu linker and not HP-UXs. Can I modify a config file to support threading correctly?
