Anyone know how to get bjam to build sun with sunpro 64 bits?

Why? I just built it with gcc. It's not as if it is very performance critical or needs to access more than four gigs or RAM.

Let me clarify. I'd like to build boost itself with sunpro 64bits. Our application is built 64bits and thus needs the boost libraries to be built as such. Thanks, Bill

OK, but you'll need to clarify a little more. Is this for a SPARC or AMD 64 system? To cater for either, you'll need the -xarch=generic64 option. For SPARC only, it's -xarch=v9, for AMD it's -xarch=amd64. There are other options for -xarch (and -xtarget and -xchip), but these are the basic ones.

I'm rather new to boost, and I don't know bjam too well. So far I've seen two ways to pass these options to the compiler:

1. edit tools/build/v1/sunpro-tools.jam and add some lines like flags sunpro C++FLAGS : -xarch=generic64 flags sunpro LINKFLAGS : -xarch=generic64 2. Use a command line something like bjam -sTOOLS=sunpro-sSUNPRO_CXX="CC -library=stlport4 -xarch=generic64" stage

O.k. I was hoping there waas something like -sBUILD="<SOMETHING>64 or v9 or something like that." Thanks!
