Boost threads compile with Sun WS6U2?
Hi all, I'm working on a multithreaded application on Sun Solaris 8 with Sun Workshop 6 update 2 installed. Currently my application uses the pthreads library. I've been looking at the Boost.threads library and I would like to use this instead of pthreads. I see that the Sun WS compiler is not in the supported toolsets list and there is no appropriate jam file available. In the Compiler Status: solaris page I see that this compiler is being tested, but no refference to the threads lib. Can anybody point me in the right direction as how I should build this lib in my environment? Is it enough if I try to create a jam file? Has anybody already done this (preferably for release 1_28)? What is the reason this compiler is not in the supported toolsets list?

Is it enough if I try to create a jam file?
If the jam file does it's job and the code works with the SunCC, it should be enough.
Has anybody already done this (preferably for release 1_28)?
Not that I know of
What is the reason this compiler is not in the supported toolsets list?
Nobody submitted the toolset to us. -Dave

In theory just build all the cpp files in libs/thread/src into a static/dynamic lib of your choice, honestly it's not really that hard, jam is just a convenience... John Maddock http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/john_maddock/index.htm
