[Boost-users] "template with C linkage"

Hi,

I'm struggling with Boost (1.32) on Solaris 8 at the moment - I do not 
have root access to the machine.

The default compiler is gcc-2.95, and so has no <ostream> <locale> etc 
so the -sTOOLS=gcc toolset won't work.  I then thought that the solution 
would be to install STLPort, but can't get this to build cleanly. 

Since then I have discovered that there is another version of gcc 
(gcc-3.2) hidden in /opt/sfw/gcc-3.2.  With this I then built the boost 
libraries again, and installed them with the line:

bjam "--prefix=/staff/cqc/ -sGCC_ROOT_DIRECTORY=/opt/sfw/gcc-3.2 
-sTOOLS=gcc" install

This seemed to work fine with no problems at all.  I then moved the 
headers, and the libs to the approprite places, and set about compiling 
my project.

The result below is repeated many many times about various files:

/opt/sfw/gcc-3.2/bin/gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..     -D_REENTRANT  
-c -o zz_broker.o `test -f zz_broker.cpp || echo './'`zz_broker.cpp

linkage

I have searched the list archives and googled around quite alot, but 
can't seem to find any info. 

Any help will be greatly recieved,
Cheers
Chris
