Thanks, I tried 'bjam --toolset=sun stdlib=sun-stlport -q' which worked! What I don't understand though is why Boost hasn't been configured accordingly for Solaris to use STLport automatically?
Should it? I think that sun experts (Hi Simon!) told that it changes ABI, and old code does not use stlport, so having sun-stlport as default stdlib is not good idea. Of course, I probably totally misremember things; we can probably make stdlib=sun-stlport the default, at least when building C++ Boost itself.
I do not know is stdlib=sun-stlport enable by default but it is the only chance to use Boost with Sun C++. libCstd does not and will not conform the C++ standard so it is not compatible to Boost. At now libCstd is default for Sun C++ due compatibility reasons. We (at Sun) consider to change this in the future Sun C++ release. Phew, that's all :) -- Simon Atanasyan
