[Boost-users] Trouble building bjam

Everyone,

  I apologize if this isn't the right forum for bjam issues, but I can't
find a group specifically for bjam.  If someone knows of one, please direct
me that way.

  I have tried searching google, but haven't identified anything relevant.

  I am trying to build bjam on SunOS 5.8 using gcc 3.1 with the posix thread
model.  When I do a gcc-v I also get:

Configured with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --disable-nls

  I don't know if any of that is relevant.  When I run ./build.sh from the
jam_src directory (either in boost source tree or a download of 3.1.11) I
get the following output.

###

  So for some reason jam0 can't identify the source files.  I'm not sure
why, I have very little experience with the bjam boostrap process.  Does
anyone have any hints or can they point me to some other resources?

Thanks for your time,
