That indicates a problem with Boost.MPL and that compiler. Are you using an up to date version of xlc because I believe Boost.Regex does/should build fine with that compiler.
John,
1) xlC -qversion returns the following: IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition V7.0 Version: 07.00.0000.0005
I'm not familiar with AIX so I can't tell if that's up to date or not.
2) As mentioned previously, I have done nothing special to the makefile for regex, other than pointing to xlC for the compiler. (and xlC/ as the target output dir)
It is possible I need to make major modifications to the makefile to get this to work.
No, it should just work: BTW the regex lib is "just a bunch of sources", so you could equally just add the sources to your IDE or whatever if you have one.
I am not an expert user of xlC, and just recently attempted to use it with Boost.
3) If someone has actually gone through the process, and can provide me the information , of modifying the generic makefiles to use with xlC on AIX, and building Boost.regex successfully, then that is what I'm really looking for.
I still haven't heard that anyone has actually compiled Boost.Regex with xlC on AIX.
I know that the IBM compiler team regularly build/test boost with their compiler releases, so this all should just plain work. That's what made me wonder if you were using an older compiler version: the error message you were seeing is due to the compiler choking on Boost.MPL, which Regex depends on. Are there any std comformity compiler flags you can turn on? John.
