On attempting to link against the boost_regex libraries, I'm finding that regex methods and template functions that take wchar_t are not resolving. Examining the libraries with nm show that these methods are not present.

My understanding is that wchar_t support for Solaris was only recently introduced in version 3.4.x, so I wondering if the bjam files are taking this into account yet. I'm currently specifying the build with the following invocation:

# bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc-stlport" "-sBUILD=release debug <cxxflags>-fPIC"

Can I add to this to force the build to use wchar_t?

I guess this is a configuration error: to see what Boost config macros are getting defined, cd into libs/config/test then: bjam config_info you'll then need to dig down into the bin directory until you find config_info.out which will have the output from the program - it'll tell you which macros were defined. # As for why they were defined - well I guess either boost/config/stdlib/stlport.hpp or boost/config/stdlib/libstdcpp3.hpp must be setting them depending on whether you're using STLPort or not. My guess is that STLPort hasn't had wide character support enabled for that platform yet, and that the Boost config system is picking up on that and disabling it for boost as well. Let me know what you find, John.
