[boost] Reg Boost Regex Compilation problems on Sun Solaris 5.9

From: Amit Parate (amit.parate_at_[hidden])

Hello All,

We are using the Boost Regex library for C++ in 1 of our projects. I have
downloaded Boost Regex version 1.30. The library compiled fine on Linux with
GCC compiler. But we use Sun Solaris 5.9 on 1 of the production boxes with
Sun Studio 10 compiler. And it is giving us compilation errors while trying
to install the libraries there.

Is there any way you can let us know the appropriate thing to do? I am
attaching the output from the ./configure script and the makefile output.

We tried to debug an error and kind of fixed it. I am attaching the change
that I made.

I would appreciate your response regarding the same.
*

Here are the outputs:*
*

Output for libs/config/configure :*

*** ./configure: boost configuration utility ***

Please stand by while exploring compiler capabilities...

Be patient - this could take some time...

Note that this test script only gives an approximate

configuration - you will need to test the results carefully

using the boost regresion test suite before using the results.

Adjustments to boost configuration have been written to

user.hpp, copy this to boost/config/user.hpp to use "as is",

or define BOOST_SITE_CONFIG to point to its location.
*

Then copied the user.hpp to boost/config folder. Then used the
sunpro.makfor SUN SOLARIS.
