These are the issues I have discovered after examining the build log:
  a.. Error message during configuration check: 
  error: No best alternative for libs/context/build/asm/make_x86_64_sysv_elf_gas.o
      next alternative: required properties: <threading>multi
  b.. Warning message during configuration check even after installing developer/icu and library/icu packages:
  - Boost.Locale needs either iconv or ICU library to be built. 
  c.. Lots of error messages during Boost.Fiber build. 
  d.. Error message during Boost.Python build.
I am attaching a copy of the build log for your perusal.

I have also adjusted the build command to include “threading=multi”.

Hi,

Is building Boost 1.63.0 with Oracle Developer Studio 12.5 supported?

I tried building it using the following commands but I get a lot of errors:

./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=sun

./b2 link=shared runtime-link=shared address-model=64 threading=multi variant=release cxxflags="-std=c++14" linkflags="-std=c++14"

FYI, I’m building on Oracle Solaris 11.3 running on a x86-64 virtual machine.

Am I missing something?

Kind regards,
Leo
