...

Hi Boosters,

...

I have been attempting to build Boost 1.59.0 on Solaris 11 using Solaris Studio 12.4 in C++11 mode.

...

So far, I have managed to locate on the web solutions to 3 issues.

...

Now I’m down to 22 targets failing to build.

...

Has anyone else attempted to do the same? I would appreciate it if you could share some of your fixes if you have any.

...

Has anyone reported that they have been able to cleanly build in this environment?

...

Kind regards, Leo

This is an update of my previous mail. I now have fixed 4 issues instead of 3. I also had a look at the build log generated from the above. It appears that the following issues are the cause of the remaining build problems which I haven’t figured out how to resolve yet: 1. ) "libs/thread/src/pthread/thread.cpp", line 103: Error: The operation "boost::shared_ptr<boost::detail::tss_cleanup_function> && bool" is illegal.

These remaining issues are preventing me from building my own library because it depends on some of the Boost libraries that are still failing to build.
