What is the exact error message, and what is the command that produces this error?

That was at the link stage.

I'm afraid this is not the answer to my questions above :-) But anyway.

I'm surprised that quotes work here

Seem to work ok. Too much XML I guess :)

I'd suggest changing user-config.jam to:

using gcc : : : <linker-type>sun ;

and building as:

bjam address-model=64 instruction-set=v9

Thankyou, that's perfect and it now builds fine.

For some reason I didn't manage to work out that the address-model and instruction-set options went on the command line to bjam. Probably due to not running bjam directly and only via the Makefile. Hence trying to put the stuff into user-config.jam.

configure/make appears to be constant source of confusion whenever any non-standard things are required. I'm planning to implement some simpler solution, for 1.36. - Volodya
