Ladies and Gentlemen,
We have been using Boost on Windows and HP-UX for over five years.
Recently I have been attempting to build Boost 1.63 on Solaris 11.3 x86 with Oracle Developer Studio12.5.
I started with:./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/export/home/me/boost_1_63_0 -libdir=/export/home/me/boost_1_63_0/lib --with-toolset=sun
…and that is where I still am. I have been trying every b2 option/configuration that I can file via Google to get Boost 1.63, both with and without C++11, and I am striking out.
Two questions: 1) Did bjam build OK? If not then I suggest you build it with gcc (you can still build boost with Sun's compiler). 2) What Sun ABI and std library did you want to build with? The Sun/Oracle compiler has a multitude of options, many of which are unusable with Boost (or anything that looks like modern C++ IMO)? Here's what my user-config.jam has: using sun : 12.5 : /opt/developerstudio12.5/bin/CC : <cxxflags>-library=stlport4 <linkflags>-library=stlport4 ; using sun : 12.5s11 : /opt/developerstudio12.5/bin/CC : <cxxflags>-std=c++11 <linkflags>-std=c++11 ; using sun : 12.5s14 : /opt/developerstudio12.5/bin/CC : <cxxflags>-std=c++14 <linkflags>-std=c++14 ; using sun : 12.5s03 : /opt/developerstudio12.5/bin/CC : <cxxflags>-std=c++03 <linkflags>-std=c++03 ; In addition you may need to add stdlib=stlport or stdlib=apache or stdlib=gnu if using the default option. HTH, John.
The Boost documentation is very terse on Sun builds, however the Boost 1.63 release notes say it has been tested for SunOS: Oracle Solaris Studio 12.5 and Oracle Solaris Studio, C++11 12.5. Here’s all that the Boost 1.64 doco has to say about Sun builds:
sun
Oracle
Only very recent versions are known to work well with Boost. Note that the Oracle/Sun compiler has a large number of options which effect binary compatibility: it is vital that the libraries are built with the same options that your appliction will use. In particular be aware that the default standard library may not work well with Boost, /unless you are building for C++11/. The particular compiler options you need can be injected with the b2 command line options cxxflags=``and ``linkflags=. For example to build with the Apache standard library in C++03 mode use b2 cxxflags=-library=stdcxx4 linkflags=-library=stdcxx4.

Sun Studio
The|sun|module supports theSun Studio http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/index.jspC++ compilers for the Solaris OS.
The module is initialized using the following syntax:
using sun : [|/version/|] : [|/c++-compile-command/|] : [|/compiler options/|] ;
This statement may be repeated several times, if you want to configure several versions of the compiler.
If the command is not specified, Boost.Build will search for a binary named*CC*in|/opt/SUNWspro/bin|and in|PATH|.
When using this compiler on complex C++ code, such as theBoost C++ library http://boost.org/, it is recommended to specify the following options when intializing the|sun|module:
-library=stlport4 -features=tmplife -features=tmplrefstatic
See theSun C++ Frontend Tales http://blogs.sun.com/sga/entry/command_line_optionsfor details.
The following options can be provided, using|/option-value/|syntax:
|*cflags*|**
Specifies additional compiler flags that will be used when compiling C sources.
|*cxxflags*|**
Specifies additional compiler flags that will be used when compiling C++ sources.
|*compileflags*|**
Specifies additional compiler flags that will be used when compiling both C and C++ sources.
|*linkflags*|**
Specifies additional command line options that will be passed to the linker.
Starting with Sun Studio 12, you can create 64-bit applications by using the|address-model=64|property.

Can someone provide me with the user-config.jamand b2options so that I can successfully build Boost 1.63 on Solaris 11.3 x86 with Oracle Developer Studio12. 3, 4, or 5? Failing user-config.jamand b2options for Solaris 11 on x86, can you provide me withuser-config.jamand b2options for Solaris 11 on SPARC with Oracle Developer Studio12.3, 4, or 5?
Thank you for your time…
