I want to use boost on HP-UX together with gcc-3.3.2. As I figured out that thread-support is disabled (BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS is defined in file boost/config/platform/hpux.hpp). Up gcc-3.3 posix-threads are supported on HP-UX-plattform (http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#hppa*-hp-hpux11). Is it then save to remove #define BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS in boost/config/platform/hpux.hpp? with best regards, Oliver
You have to remove
#define BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS
and insert:
# define BOOST_HAS_THREADS # define BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS
Thanks for the info, the patches below are going into cvs now, one thing to note: you must have built the compiler with --enable-threads, otherwise Boost threading support will still be forced off (if the std lib isn't thread safe, neither will Boost be whatever you do), but of course you knew that anyway :-) John.
