building boost libraries on Solaris
Has anyone built Boost Libraries using Sun/Solaris CC? I first built bjam using gcc on Solaris. But in the next step, 'bjam "-sTOOLS=CC"' (ie Solaris CC), it failed miserably. Since CC is not in the Supported Toolsets, does it mean I cannot build Boost libraries using Sun/Solaris CC? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks. herman

First of all, the appropriate toolset is 'sunpro', i.e., 'bjam "-sTOOLS=sunpro"'. Secondly, the amount of success you will have depends on the version of Sun CC you are using. I run weekly regressions (http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/cs-SunOS.html) against version 5.4, or SunONE Studio 7 (the latest version is 8, CC 5.5). A considerably large numbers of libraries fail, so your mileage may vary. Any version of CC earlier than 5.4 is pretty much out of luck. Christopher
Christopher, Thanks a lot. I will need to find a Sun CC 5.4 or later. By the way, I could not find the toolset 'sunpro' in the table (http://www.boost.org/tools/build/index.html). Where can I find the up-to-date table of the supported toolsets? herman "Christopher Currie" wrote
