Re: [Boost-users] Re: Building boost for 64-bit on AIX -- now using KCC

Hi again,

so, I've now switched to trying to build boost using KCC (4.0f9, I need 
both KCC and gcc versions). And that opened up a whole new slew of cans 
of worms...

1. the <address-model>64 doesn't seem to do anything here, the proper 
option (-q64) is not used. I can turn it on with "<cxxflags>-q64 
<linkflags>-q64 <arflags>-q64" and that seems to work.
2. when building the thread library (and possibly others), the option to 
turn on threading (--thread_safe) is not used, resulting in error messages:

"/scratch/scratchdirs/patrik/boost_1_32_0/boost/config/requires_threads.hpp", 
line 86: catastrophic error:
          #error directive: "Compiler threading support is not turned on.
          Please consult your compiler's documentation for the appropriate
          options to use"
  #  error "Compiler threading support is not turned on.  Please consult 
your compiler's documentation for the appropriate options to use"

If I manually turn it on using "<cxxflags>--thread_safe 
<linkflags>--thread_safe <arflags>--thread_safe", I can compile it, but...

3. Building shared libraries fails:

4. There are numerous compiler errors and warnings preventing many 
libraries from building. I've attached the full build log to this email.

cheers,
