I had a problem compiling boost on a sparc solaris 2.8 platform. After a bit of digging the change below (notice the end of the #if). The code in the #else calls strerror_r but solaris doesn't have it. Hum... See http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5168/6mbb3hrti?a=view
It looks like Solaris 10 at least does have strerror_r.
A quick check on some development machines suggests that Solaris 9 does not. In areas in which I've worked, most systems have not upgraded to Solaris 10.
OK, thanks! The task now becomes how do we distinguish between systems with and without strerror_r? Do you know if <cstring> and/or <string.h> come with Solaris or with the Sun compiler or perhaps separate from either? Boost's 1.34.0 regression test config_info is reporting: Sun compiler version 0x580 ... sun =1 __SUNPRO_CC =0x580 __sun =1 If the header comes with the compiler, perhaps we can use the __SUNPRO_CC value to discriminate.
