Hello, I need to compile boost as a 64 bit program using vacpp 8.0 compiler, on AIX 5.3ml3, power5, p5-550 and p5-595. I can compile boost with vacpp in 32bit mode fine, but all my attempts at compiling it 64 bit have not resulted with any success so far. The vacpp toolset does not offer any options and does not allow for any options or configuration variables. I do not understand the syntax of the vacpp-tools.jam file or (bjam in general) and cannot edit the file with any success. I just need the following flags passed to the compiler: <cxxflags> -q64 <linkflags> -q64 <arflags> -q64 Thanks, Kamil Kamil Marcinkowski Westgrid System Administrator kamil@ualberta.ca University of Alberta site Tel.780 492-0354 Research Computing Support Fax.780 492-1729 Academic ICT (formerly CNS) Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA University of Alberta "This communication is intended for the use of the recipient to which it is addressed, and may contain confidential, personal, and/or privileged information.
