We appear not have any information on using Boost with STLport in the getting started guide. I couldn't find anything in the Boost.Build reference either? Given that this comes up on the mailing list from time to time - and usually causes problems - some kind of information would be rather useful. I'd offer to write something, but don't know enough about bbv2 and stlport to do so :-( John.

This certainly would be a good idea. The problem I see is, that boost 1.34 has specified an outdated (and unsupported) version of the stlport as belonging to the release set. Nevertheless a newer version might well be working with boost, and so appropriate documentation would be helpful. I got started by a hint from Volodya, who told me to look into the stlport.jam file, which has some plain text documentation in the header. You might also want to look into my setup for the regression at: http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_34_0/speedsnail-m... Regards, Roland

Thanks I did some similar hacking to my user-config.jam file a while back so I could run STLport tests locally. However, I'm not sure we want end users to have to around hacking user-config.jam ? Is there any way we can make this easier for folks who just want to build the libraries? Thanks, John.

Nod.

To be honest this does not bother me too much. It might be unsupported but I seriously doubt it's unused. For the record the release set is not so much guided by sophisticated planning as it is by available regression tests. Sad but true. Thomas -- Thomas Witt witt@acm.org

I recently installed stlport 5.1 for work purposes, and could easily set up the my regression test runs to use that. However, it was agreed that we would not add any new test platforms this late in the day, so I haven't done so.

Right, please don't add anything at this point. What I meant to say is availability of regression tests at some point in the distant past ;-) Thanks Thomas PS: We should look at 5.1 as soon as we get 1.34 out the door. -- Thomas Witt witt@acm.org
