[Boost-users] Building Boost 1.33.0 with bjam --v2 failes under HP-UX 11.23

Hello all,

I'm trying to build boost 1.33 64-bit libraries under HP-UX 11.23 with the help of gcc 4.1.1 thru bjam. I was confused trying to supply -mlp64 compiler and linker option to the gcc though bjam options. By default calling ``bjam'' uses Boost.Build v.1, and setting ``bjam --v2'' -- will do v.2. Uncommenting "using gcc ;" in ./tools/build/v2/ user-config.jam file led bjam to "learn" this toolset, but calling ``bjam --v2'' from the boost_1_33_0/ folder splashes this:

# bjam --v2 gcc

warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built

Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it).

Calling v.1 Boost.Built with "cxxflags=-mlp64" got no luck too:

skipping Boost.Python library build due to missing or incorrect configuration

couldn't find Python.h in "/usr/local/include/python2.2"

You can configure the location of your python installation by setting:
PYTHON_ROOT    - currently "/usr/local"
PYTHON_VERSION - The 2-part python Major.Minor version number (e.g.
                 "2.2", NOT "2.2.1")  - currently "2.2"

The following are automatically configured from PYTHON_ROOT if not
otherwise set:

    PYTHON_LIB_PATH       - path to Python library object; currently
                            "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/config"
    PYTHON_INCLUDES       - path to Python #include directories; currently
                            "/usr/local/include/python2.2"

don't know how to make cxxflags=-mlp64
...found 1 target...
...can't find 1 target...

Finally the only way to get this 64-bit libs was this hack: ``GXX="g++ -mlp64" bjam''.
Does anybody knows what the heck is with the bjam --v2 and why it is unable to build boost from-the-box?

PS. This is my gcc version, but seems it is not clued anyway:

# gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: ia64-hp-hpux11.23
