[Boost-users] Missing 64-bit support for toolset=sun

Hello,

I think in boost 1.34.0 the 64-bit for toolset=sun is missing. I'm using
bjam to build boost. My environment:

OS: Solaris 10 x86_64 (with latest patches)
CC: Sun C++ 5.8 Patch 121018-10 2007/02/21 (Sun Studio 11 with latest
patches)

With 1.32.0 I have used the following command to build 64-bit binaries:

tools/build/jam_src/bin/bjam -sHAVE_ICU=1 -sICU_PATH=$$PREFIX
-sTOOLS=sunpro -d2 -j4 -sBUILD=debug\ "<instruction-set>athlon64"
--prefix=$$PREFIX --includedir=$$PREFIX/include
--libdir=$$PREFIX/lib/amd64

Now I'm using the following command to build boost:

tools/jam/src/bin/bjam --v2 --toolset=sun stdlib=sun-stlport -d2 -j4
variant=debug --without-iostreams --without-python --without-regex
--prefix=$$PREFIX --includedir=$$PREFIX/include
--libdir=$$PREFIX/lib/amd64

I see no way (without patching tools/build/v2/tools/sun.jam) to get
64-bit binaries.

Am I missing something??

Best regards,

Markus
