Hi, I'm new to Boost, and I have not used C++ in years. I have been asked to determine whether Boost 1.33.1 can be compiled for 64-bit Solaris, and if so, then what precautions must be taken. I found this page, which seems to suggest that Boost cannot currently be compiled for Solaris 10: http://groups.google.com/group/boost-list/browse_thread/thread/091716aaf5438... On the other hand, this page seem to suggest that it is possible: http://shoaibmir.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/building-boost-under-solaris/ With GNU gcc 3.4.6, I seem to have successfully built BJam 3.1.11, the version of Boost Jam which is contemporary with Boost 1.33.1. When I try to build Boost, I'm getting the following error: PATH_TO_BOOST_HOME/tools/build/v1/boost-base.jam:1585: in find-compatible-subvariant *** argument error * rule split-target-subvariant ( target-var properties-var toolset-var variant-var : subvariant ) * called with: ( sv-target sv-properties sv-toolset sv-variant : <@boost!libs!serialization!build>libboost_serialization.a|gcc//<cxxflags>-Wno-non-virtual-dtor -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy/<define>BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC=1/<sysinclude>PATH_TO_BOOST_HOME/<tag><prefix>-gcc-1_33_1/<address-model>default/<architecture>native/<build>yes/<debug-symbols>on/<inlining>off/<instruction-set>default/<object-model>default/<optimization>off/<profiling>off/<rtti>on/<runtime-link>dynamic/<shared-linkable>false/<target-type>LIB/<threading>single/<vtable-thunks>default|gcc| <@boost!libs!serialization!build>libboost_serialization.a|gcc/debug/<address-model>default/<architecture>native/<debug-symbols>on/<inlining>off/<instruction-set>default/<object-model>default/<optimization>off/<profiling>off/<rtti>on/<shared-linkable>false/<threading>single/<vtable-thunks>default/<cxxflags>-Wno-non-virtual-dtor -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy/<define>BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC=1/<sysinclude>PATH_TO_BOOST_HOME/<tag><prefix>-gcc-d-1_33_1/<build>yes/<runtime-link>dynamic/<target-type>LIB|gcc|debug ) * extra argument <@boost!libs!serialization!build>libboost_serialization.a|gcc/debug/<address-model>default/<architecture>native/<debug-symbols>on/<inlining>off/<instruction-set>default/<object-model>default/<optimization>off/<profiling>off/<rtti>on/<shared-linkable>false/<threading>single/<vtable-thunks>default/<cxxflags>-Wno-non-virtual-dtor -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy/<define>BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC=1/<sysinclude>PATH_TO_BOOST_HOME/<tag><prefix>-gcc-d-1_33_1/<build>yes/<runtime-link>dynamic/<target-type>LIB|gcc|debug PATH_TO_BOOST_HOME/tools/build/v1/boost-base.jam:2032:see definition of rule 'split-target-subvariant' being called PATH_TO_BOOST_HOME/tools/build/v1/boost-base.jam:1654: in link-libraries PATH_TO_BOOST_HOME/tools/build/v1/boost-base.jam:1857: in generate-dependencies PATH_TO_BOOST_HOME/tools/build/v1/boost-base.jam:1964: in subvariant-target PATH_TO_BOOST_HOME/tools/build/v1/boost-base.jam:2406: in stage Jamfile:226: in load-jamfiles PATH_TO_BOOST_HOME/tools/build/v1/bootstrap.jam:21: in boost-build PATH_TO_BOOST_HOME/boost-build.jam:16: in module scope Does this look familiar to anyone?
