In the particular case of the serialization library. There are actually two libraries: libboost_serialization and libboost_wserialization . If one's platforms doesn't offer enough wide character support, then an attempt to build libboost_wserialization will fail. If libboost_serialization does in fact build, then you can use that - just don't use wide characters. When building on a new platform - be sure and run all the tests.

Hi all, i am building build libraries for version 1_32_0 on solaris 9 but running into many errors. For example, there are similar errors like in compiling serialization/build/../src/xml_wgrammar.cpp:14: #error "wide char i/o not supported on this platform" The command i used is: bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" --with-python-root=/usr/local/Python2.3.2 install Are there any detailed procedures for build on solaris 9? Thanks
