[Boost-testing] CodeWarrior- what next?

From: Stephen W. Carson (StephenC_at_[hidden])

So CodeWarrior on the Mac is failing roughly the same amount of 
libraries as CodeWarrior on the PC, (23 out of 54 vs. 18 out of 55 
respectively) . I assume then that the phase of getting the JAM script 
correct for Mac CodeWarrior is mostly complete.

So what next? Just keep running the tests and hope that library authors 
do something about the remaining failures?

For my own shop, we specifically use the following libraries on the Mac:
filesystem (fail)
smart_ptr
thread (fail)
tokenizer

So obviously, I have a particular interest in seeing filesystem and 
thread move to green. Here is the status on those two libraries:

FILESYSTEM
-2 test cases failing out of 6.
-fstream_test, failing due to link error

-All test cases are failing for CodeWarrior 9 on Mac AND PC. (I note that CodeWarrior 8 on PC is passing though).
-On the Mac, the build fails with this:

   Error : preprocessor #error directive
../libs/thread/src/xtime.cpp line 142?#   error "xtime_get implementation undefined" 
----------------------------------------------
-On the PC, there also seems to be a build error though I can't see what it is looking through the test results.

So, any thoughts on how to continue moving forward?
Figuring out why the thread library won't build seems promising though I don't know what to make of the error it is getting.

Thanks!
