RE: [Boost-users] Problems with compiling Filesystem library on Solaris

Thanks for the swift reply!
In the interim I commented out the 2-3 problematic methods (which I am not using anyway) in the filesystem lib, but I like your solution better.

A question on that though:
On your solution, what exactly am I commenting out, that is, can the workaround break some other boost library or a significant assumption?

Thanks,
Barak

I have submitted a similar problem and the proposed fix recently.  I am
just waiting on our developers to confirm that it works before
submitting it to boost, but it seems to fix the tokenizer problem, too.
For a quick workaround (before the patch is applied) do this:
At the top of boost/type_traits/detail/bool_trait_def.hpp you will see
something like this:

#if defined(__SUNPRO_CC)
#   define BOOST_TT_AUX_BOOL_TRAIT_VALUE_DECL(C) \
    typedef mpl::bool_< C > type; \
    enum { value = type::value }; \
    /**/
#   define BOOST_TT_AUX_BOOL_C_BASE(C)   //1

Comment out the line marked with //1.
That seems to have fixed my problems with both 5.3 and 5.5.
HTH,

Tom
