A couple of questions for the HP gurus about Boost on HP-UX with GNU GCC. I see that the development builds target this configuration, but the 1.34 release does not, so I'm not sure that I can even do this with the 1.34 build. I am new to using bjam so be gnetle. Platform: HP-UX, on itanium ia64, 11.23, building for 64 bit linker: hp-ux GCC:4.1.1 Boost:1.34 User config file: using gcc: : :<cxxflags>-mlp64 <linkflags>-mlp64 Is this suffcient, or do I need to indicate the archtiecture (ia64 on itanium) in some way? Threading: gcc.jam indicates that GCC on HP-UX does not support threading. We have built many libraries with threading using GCC so is this an old comment or is it specific to the gnu linker and not HP-UXs. Can I modify a config file to support threading correctly? Failing libs Zlibs and bzlib builds fail. How do I disable building them? Can the build fail and it's not a problem for the rest of the libraries. Do I need to modify any of the source to work correctly? Would I be better off using a development build? Will boost work correctly on HP 11.31? Thanks!

I can't help for the rest of your questions, but we use GCC+HP-UX+Boost in our work without any problem. The only real difference with your environment is that we work in HP-UX 11.23 but on PA-RISC... We had to "force" Boost to believe that this environment is OK for building multi-thread versions of the libraries. As you have said, gcc.jam indicates that GCC on HP-UX does not support threading.
Hi.
We had to "force" Boost to believe that this environment is OK for building multi-thread versions of the libraries. As you have said, gcc.jam indicates that GCC on HP-UX does not support threading.
If you have information regarding this, or even better - an update proposal for gcc.jam - please send it to the boost.build mailing list. :-) (well, you could send it here - but that list seems more appropriate and there is less chance of it getting lost in all the noise...) Thanks. Best regards, Jurko Gospodnetić

gcc.jam on the trunk has fixes for HP-UX, both ia64 and PA-RISC. For 64-bit build, you can specify the following in your user-config.jam: using gcc : : : <compileflags>"-mlp64" <linkflags>"-mlp64" ; There is no need to indicate archtiecture. Note that HP-UX/gcc testing on the trunk is done in 32-bit mode -- click on HP-UX_ia64_gcc to see user-config.jam I'm using and other details.
Threading: gcc.jam indicates that GCC on HP-UX does not support threading.
This is a bug in 1.34. Fixed in gcc.jam on the trunk.
Failing libs Zlibs and bzlib builds fail. How do I disable building them? Can the build fail and it's not a problem for the rest of the libraries.
You can pass the following options to bjam to disable zlib: --bjam-options="-sNO_BZIP2=1 -sNO_ZLIB=1"
Do I need to modify any of the source to work correctly? Would I be better off using a development build?
The best would be to use stable soon-to-be-released 1.35. gcc.jam in 1.35 is different from that on trunk, but, as far as I can tell, the differences are mostly "cosmetic" ones. Unfortunately, I cannot point you to 1.35 tests results on HP-UX/gcc. I asked permission to do release branch testing, but the request was denied. See http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/01/132329.php
Will boost work correctly on HP 11.31?
It does work on 11.31. I do boost testing with aCC6 on a 11.31 machine.
See test results for HP-UX_ia64_aCC, both trunk and release branch.
Thanks,
Boris
