Re: [Boost-users] [Urgent] ./bootstrap.sh from boost_1_70_0 is failing in SunOS

3 Dec 2019

      Hi  Piotr and All,

On further analysis in boost code, I found below line of code causing
"./bootstrap.sh"  to fail in SunOS.
Can some one look into it and suggest for a fix for Error 2.

Error 1  :    ./build.sh: syntax error at line 143: `machine=$' unexpected

      File name:   build.sh
      Line No    :   143
      Fix           :    machine=`gcc -dumpmachine 2>/dev/null`
 <-------  Piotr suggested

Error 2  :     clock_gettime                       timestamp.o
                    ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors. No output written
to bootstrap/jam0

      File name: boost_1_70_0/tools/build/src/engine/timestamp.c
      Function:  timestamp_current()
      Problematic code : line no 135 to 144, which are introduced in latest
boost releases.

===============
   126  void timestamp_current( timestamp * const t )
   127  {
   128  #ifdef OS_NT
   129          /* GetSystemTimeAsFileTime()'s resolution seems to be about
15 ms on Windows
   130          * XP and under a millisecond on Windows 7.
   131          */
   132         FILETIME ft;
   133         GetSystemTimeAsFileTime( &ft );
   134         timestamp_from_filetime( t, &ft );

It seems that build.sh linked bjam correctly but then it does the
bootstrapping using bjam itself.
That process is controlled from build.jam file inside src/engine
directory.
I am not an expert on jam files but I would suggest to add -lrt to the
--libs variable, i.e. line 469
--libs = $(tool.$(toolset).linklibs) ; should become --libs =
$(tool.$(toolset).linklibs) -lrt ;

earlier versions of bootstrap did not use clock_gettime function and
that made them link correctly.
Could you please update, in which version of boost the clock_gettime
function introduced.

As you suggested, I updated build.sh script and add -lrt at the end of
line 350, but still facing the same error.

Hi Kamal
From what I can see, earlier versions of bootstrap did not use
clock_gettime function and that made them link correctly.
This function on Solaris requires linking with -lrt
Since you are doing this only for yourself you can edit build.sh
script and add -lrt at the end of line 350:
echo_run ${BOOST_JAM_CC} ${BOOST_JAM_OPT_JAM} ${BJAM_SOURCES} -lrt
If that helps, boost team may need to fix build.sh to add -lrt if
building on Solaris platform
