[Boost 1.33.1].[64-bit]
Hi, I am trying to get 64-bit build of Boost 1.33.1 on following platforms: 1.Solaris 10 - Sun Studio 11 - Sparc. URL's listed below helped me to build some if not all. Patch -- http://blogs.sun.com/sga/entry/boost_1_33_1 Instruction for passing the relevant options to bjam -- http://blogs.sun.com/sga/category/Boost 2.HP-UX 11.23 - aCC A.06.02 - Itanium. How do I pass "+DD64" option to the compiler and the linker for 64-bit build. 3.AIX 5.3 - xlC/C++ 8.0 - PowerPC. Correct way to pass "-q64" option to the compiler and the linker. I do not really want to use the environment variable OBJECT_MODE. -- regards, Prashant Thakre

You can modify tools/build/v1/acc-tools.jam to add +DD64 to CXX command line in aCC-Link-action, acc-Cc-action and aCC-C++-action. Or you can extend acc toolset by creating a file, say, 64bit_acc-tools.jam: { extends-toolset acc ; flags 64bit_acc C++FLAGS : +DD64 ; flags 64bit_acc LINKFLAGS : +DD64 ; } and invoking bjam with -sTOOLS=64bit_acc I did not try it, but a similar technique used to work in 1.33 build.
aCC A.06.02
I strongly recommend to upgrade to a more recent aCC6 compiler. Boris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Prashant Thakre" <prashant.thakre@gmail.com> To: <boost-users@lists.boost.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 12:51 AM Subject: [Boost-users] [Boost 1.33.1].[64-bit]

The idea of directly adding "+DD64" option to the CXX command did come up, but wanted to check if there was a better way of achieving the same i.e by passing <instruction-set> or some similar option to bjam. Thanks a lot, guess will use the same trick for AIX. Does boost 1.34 has some better option for 64-bit build ?
aCC A.06.02 I strongly recommend to upgrade to a more recent aCC6 compiler. Am in the process of upgrading aCC to A.06.13.

I don't know. In 1.34, +DD64 is hard-coded in boost/tools/build/v2/tools/acc.jam, so on HP-UX, we build 64-bit boost by default.

That would force users of boost to build 64-bit binaries even if they don't want to. I was hoping that some option would be made available from 1.34 regarding 32-bit/64-bit build i.e. --build_mode=64/32. Thanks.

Most likely some users will and some won't: there is no way to satisfy all users with a single default. The users wanting 32-bit libraries will either have to remove +DD64 or override it by adding +DD32 to the flags. I don't know bjam and Boost.Build v2 well enough to suggest how to override it outside acc.jam.

You might want to post it to the boost.build list. Thanks, Boris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Prashant Thakre" <prashant.thakre@gmail.com> To: <boost-users@lists.boost.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 11:50 AM Subject: Re: [Boost-users] [Boost 1.33.1].[64-bit]

I'm afraid that would require editing acc.jam, that toolset does not use the general mechanisms used to specify toolset options when configuring the toolset. - Volodya

Something to look into, eventually... :-) Thanks for the reply! -boris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vladimir Prus" <ghost@cs.msu.su> To: <boost-users@lists.boost.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 3:48 PM Subject: Re: [Boost-users] [Boost 1.33.1].[64-bit]
