Hi,
 
I'm new to Boost, and I have not used C++ in years. I have been asked to determine whether Boost 1.28.0 (or a later version, if necessary) can be compiled for 64-bit Solaris 10, and if so, then what precautions must be taken.
 
I found this page, which seems to suggest that Boost cannot currently be compiled for Solaris 10:

On the other hand, this page seem to suggest that it is possible:

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? If it matters, I have a Java/JEE background.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Greg
