Newbie: Compiling Boost 1.28.0 or later for 64-bit Solaris 10
Hi, I'm new to Boost, and I have not used C++ in years. I have been asked to determine whether Boost 1.28.0 (or a later version, if necessary) can be compiled for 64-bit Solaris 10, 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/ Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? If it matters, I have a Java/JEE background. Thanks in advance, Greg _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/196390706/direct/01/

It depends on what libraries you are using. Some work with Sun CC, others don't. You can check the regression tests at http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/summary.html to get an idea of the health of specific libraries. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
