[Boost-users] [Boost compilation on SGI] Problems compiling boost on SGI

From: Sebastien Fortier (sebastien.fortier_at_[hidden])

Can anyone help with this, I have been trying to compile boost on an SGI 
machine.

Boost source taken from cvs.

IRIX version:
    IRIX Release 6.5 IP35

MIPSpro compiler version:
    MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.4.2m

attached is the log of my last compilation effort.

Here is a short sorted list of the reoccurring errors

                                       ^

These errors reoccur throughout the compilation process, is there a fix 
for this ?

the skipped libraries are

    libboost_test_exec_monitor
    libboost_unit_test_framework
    libboost_wave

I already compiled the library under Linux and everything worked fine.
I was hoping to use the unit testing library from boost instead of 
cppunit but if I cant compile it I will have no choice in the matter.
