Subject: Building Boost 1.59.0 on Solaris 11 with Solaris Studio 12.4

This is an update of my previous mail.

I now have fixed 4 issues instead of 3.

I also had a look at the build log generated from the above. It appears that the following issues are the cause of the remaining build problems which I haven’t figured out how to resolve yet:

1. )

These remaining issues are preventing me from building my own library because it depends on some of the Boost libraries that are still failing to build.
