[Boost-users] Unable to build Boost.Serialization library from boost 1.34 with vacpp.

From: Joe Davidson (nugins99_at_[hidden])

We are using IBM's XLC  compiler (version 8.0) on a LInux/PPC system.   I
have been able to compile boost 1.33.1 with XLC without any showstopping
problems.  (The Boost.Wave library has some minor issues I think)
Attempting to build boost 1.34.0 with the same version of xlc results in
multiple compilation failures.   I'm providing one of the build errors in
hopes that I can start getting some pointers as to where to look.   I can
dig up more compilation errors if needed.

I did have to patch the vacpp.jam file to override the default location of
the xlc compiler.   There should be a better way to set the compiler
location right?

Suggestions?

Thanks,
