Hi, I'm struggling with Boost (1.32) on Solaris 8 at the moment - I do not have root access to the machine. The default compiler is gcc-2.95, and so has no <ostream> <locale> etc so the -sTOOLS=gcc toolset won't work. I then thought that the solution would be to install STLPort, but can't get this to build cleanly. Since then I have discovered that there is another version of gcc (gcc-3.2) hidden in /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2. With this I then built the boost libraries again, and installed them with the line: bjam "--prefix=/staff/cqc/ -sGCC_ROOT_DIRECTORY=/opt/sfw/gcc-3.2 -sTOOLS=gcc" install This seemed to work fine with no problems at all. I then moved the headers, and the libs to the approprite places, and set about compiling my project. The result below is repeated many many times about various files: /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/bin/gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D_REENTRANT -c -o zz_broker.o `test -f zz_broker.cpp || echo './'`zz_broker.cpp In file included from /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/include/c++/3.2/utility:66, from /staff/cqc/include/boost/config/select_stdlib_config.hpp:20, from /staff/cqc/include/boost/config.hpp:40, from /staff/cqc/include/boost/smart_ptr.hpp:14, from zz_broker.h:28, from zz_broker.cpp:24: /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/include/c++/3.2/bits/stl_relops.h:91: template with C linkage /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/include/c++/3.2/bits/stl_relops.h:104: template with C linkage /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/include/c++/3.2/bits/stl_relops.h:117: template with C linkage /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/include/c++/3.2/bits/stl_relops.h:130: template with C linkage I have searched the list archives and googled around quite alot, but can't seem to find any info. Any help will be greatly recieved, Cheers Chris This message has been scanned but we cannot guarantee that it and any attachments are free from viruses or other damaging content: you are advised to perform your own checks.

Do you perhaps have extern "C" block still open before you include

Do you perhaps have extern "C" block still open before you include
? I get identical errors compiling the following test program: extern "C" { #include
}
I have only one extern "C" {} block in the whole code. Its job is to
create a wrapper that allows a member function to be used as a pointer
to the pthread_create() function. I have checked that it is closed
properly. eg:
extern "C" {
void *ThreadStartup(void *);
}
The top of the file looks like:
#ifndef ZZ_BROKER_H
#define ZZ_BROKER_H
#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include

Does the same problem happen with the following C++ file? #include <utility> int main() {} If so, it's not a boost problem. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

The above code seems to compile without problem on the solaris box: marian$ cat test.cpp #include <utility> int main() {} marian$ /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/bin/g++ test.cpp marian$ Cheers Chris This message has been scanned but we cannot guarantee that it and any attachments are free from viruses or other damaging content: you are advised to perform your own checks.

I think you want `/opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/bin/g++`.
Hi, Yeah - I noticed that after my 1st post. I was originally using: CXX=/opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/bin/g++ ./configure && make And tried gcc as a kind of desparate blind hope, but to no avail... Sorry I should have added that to my previous post.

I have the same problem on Mac OS X powerpc G4, trying to use boost_1_32_0.
Did you come up with a solution?
I've ungoogled some related info about NO_IMPLICIT_EXTERN_C flag, but have not
been able to resolve the issue.
(http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15834).
I'm completely baffled after two days of doing nothing but uncuccessfully trying
to resolve this! Please help!
(I will try this on suse 9.1 later today.)
This compiles:
#include <utility>
int main(){return 0;}
and this does not:
#include

Hi, I'm affraid not, our sys admins installed a new gcc (3.4.3) and I successufully managed to build it using this. (sparc-sun-solaris2.8) Sorry not to be able to offer any more help, Cheers Chris doktora wrote:

This compiles:
#include <utility> int main(){return 0;}
and this does not:
#include
int main(){return 0;} Both are compiled with: /usr/bin/g++-3.3 main.cpp
