Thank you Sinan for your help. I really appreciate it. I am getting a bit closer. Jam issues the compilation lcommands, but boost still does not compile. I am stuck at: jam -sBOOST_ROOT=. -sTOOLS=suncc warning: rulename $(gGENERATOR_FUNCTION($(dependency-type))) expands to empty string ...found 458 targets... ...updating 98 targets... cc-C++-action libs/regex/build/bin/libboost_regex.a/suncc/debug/c_regex_traits.o "./boost/regex/regex_traits.hpp", line 165: Error: uint_fast32_t may not have a type qualifier. "./boost/regex/regex_traits.hpp", line 165: Error: "," expected instead of "do_lookup_class". "./boost/regex/regex_traits.hpp", line 166: Error: Use ";" to terminate declarations. The source code corresponding to the error is the following: static boost::uint_fast32_t BOOST_REGEX_CALL do_lookup_class(const char* p); in regex_traits.hpp. I made sure that BOOST_REGEX_CALL is empty. I am quite certain the compiler is complaining about the namespace qualification boost:: in front of uint_fast32_t but do not understand why.

Does anybody know how to compile boost with Solaris 7 and

sparcWorks 5.0.

...

Looking at http://www.boost.org/tools/build/index.html, there is no place for this compiler.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Seb.

I did a build with WSU2 in October 4th...

This is what I had to do......

1) modify config.hpp 2) modify iterator_adaptors.hpp 3) create a file called tools/build/suncc-tools.jam (which was quickly hacked from gcc version) 4) invoke jam -f./tools/build/allyourbase.jam -sTOOLS=suncc

Following are the steps as well as I can reconstruct...... ( I hope )....

STEP 1) in config.hpp you need ----------------------------------------------------------- # elif defined __SUNPRO_CC # if __SUNPRO_CC <= 0x530 # define BOOST_NO_SLIST # define BOOST_NO_HASH # define BOOST_NO_STD_ITERATOR_TRAITS # define BOOST_NO_STD_ALLOCATOR

// although sunpro 5.1 supports the syntax for // inline initialization it often gets the value // wrong, especially where the value is computed // from other constants (J Maddock 6th May 2001) # // sik define BOOST_NO_INCLASS_MEMBER_INITIALIZATION

// although sunpro 5.1 supports the syntax for // partial specialization, it often seems to // bind to the wrong specialization. Better // to disable it until suppport becomes more stable // (J Maddock 6th May 2001). # define BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION # endif # if __SUNPRO_CC <= 0x500 # define BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATES # define BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION # endif --------------------------- STEP 2) in iterator_adaptors.hpp make the following modifications....

, class Reference = Value& //sik , class ConstReference = const Value& , class ConstReference = Value& , class Category = BOOST_ARG_DEPENDENT_TYPENAME boost::detail::iterator_traits<OuterIterator>::iterator_category , class Pointer = Value* //sik , class ConstPointer = const Value* , class ConstPointer = Value*

STEP 3 & 4 ) jam -f./tools/build/allyourbase.jam -sTOOLS=suncc

But you need the following file first ....
