Let us know if you are interested in testing Boost with your platform on a regular basis to make the next releases more IBM-friendly.
I'd love to, but in the development environment I've got, compiling boost 1.32 for S390 takes about 24 hours!
Could you comment on that, please? Is the machine and/or compiler slow? Are Boost libraries doing something that causes particularly slow compiles?
We don't have a S390 machine in house, so our builds are done using hercules, which is a S390 emulator. We also do cross-compiling, but getting Redhat rpmbuild to use a cross-compiler is a chore we haven't found worth doing so far. -- Jon Biggar Levanta jon@levanta.com
