RE: [Boost-Users] Re: linking with boost.threads on solaris 8 with gcc 3.0.3

I've applied the unclosed extern "C" fix to once.cpp, removed the unsupported -pthread option from gcc-tools.jam, and built the thread library using jam with no errors.

The extern "C" bug is fixed in CVS. You might want to make sure the gcc-tools.jam problem is a known issue as well.

Has anyone compiled anything using this environment that uses boost.threads?

I don't have any way to compile/test on this platform so all I can offer is general advise.

Since Jam works to build the library, does it work to run the test? (Execute Jam in the BOOST_ROOT/libs/thread/test directory.) If this works (hopefully it will) you can use Jam to figure out what command line options are required to link on your platform (execute with the - d+2 switch).

Unfortunately, jam fails to build the test app too. The errors reported when trying to link 'test_thread' and are from thread.o: undefined reference to nanosleep undefined reference to sched_yield

Hopefully others will have more information for you.

Lets hope. - Dale.
