Re: [Boost-build] HP-UX build with GNU

Thanks Boris.
I will try it again with the new gcc.jam. At this point most of my
errors are related to wide character support and some errors related to
a mismatch in type sizes. I suspect the last problem is related to
building in 64 bit. 

Any pointers on how to deal with wide character support? Ignore it and
don't use the regex package? Try to make it work? 

Has anyone run into issues building 64 bit?

Thanks!
