Re: [Boost-users] Building Boost 1.59.0 on Solaris 11 with Solaris Studio 12.4

FYI, according to the Solaris Studio 12.4 C++ User's Guide, quote "Many system libraries are only available as dynamic libraries in the Oracle Solaris 64-bit compilation environment". Therefore, your change to use static libraries may not be feasible when compiling on Solaris 11 x86 because it is 64-bit only.

I'm testing on Oracle x86 64-bit. Note that link=static only changes the way Boost libraries are built, it has no effect on runtime/system library usage at all which will continue to be linked as shared libraries. One more PR: https://github.com/boostorg/variant/pull/17 John.
