It seems that all the troubles are caused by the undefined BOOST_HAS_THREADS, which then causes the breaking down in: boost_root/boost/config/requires_threads.hpp I don't why this didn't cause a problem in RHEL GCC 3.2.3 on IA32. There are probably some diferences between the gcc's pre-processor on IA32 and that on IA64. Anyone can look into it and fix this problem? --- Rene Rivera <grafik.list@redshift-software.com> wrote:

First of all, Boost 1.32.0 can be compiled correctly in IA32 platform without any problems.
But when I tried to compile it on Itanium2 system, I ran into the following problem:
I issued the standard building command:
bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" install [cut] "Compiler threading support is not turned on. Please set the correct command lin e options for threading: -pthread (Linux), -pthreads (Solaris) or -mthreads (Min gw32)"
Ouch :-(
Since my Itanium2 runs RHEL 3.0 with the standard GCC 3.2.3, the same version of the GCC that I used to compile Boost in RHEL 3.0 on IA32 platform, I don't understand why this error happened.
Neither do I since the default for the Boost.Build gcc toolset is to add "-pthread" to the gcc options.
Could anyone tell me how to get Boost 1.32.0 compiled smoothly on Itanium2 machine? Any information are greatly appreciated!
Run "bjam -n -sTOOLS=gcc". This will show you what the build commands t wants to execute. This way you can verify that the -pthread option is included. If it is, I really don't know what to do :-( If it's not in there do a "uname" if it's any of SunOS, BeOS, Darwin, IRIX, or HP_UX then we have a problem as the uname would be reporting the wrong thing. By the way those options are added in boost-root/tools/build/v1/gcc-tools.jam on lines ~100 >> 150, you could try forcing adding the option.
