Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #5880: Can't Build on OpenSolaris 2010 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5880 <p> Latest <a class="missing wiki">OpenaSolaris</a>. </p> <p> Working from <a class="ext-link" href="file:///export/home/jeffrey/Desktop/boost_1_47_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html"><span class="icon">​</span>file:///export/home/jeffrey/Desktop/boost_1_47_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html</a> (nothing special noted for <a class="missing wiki">OpenSolaris</a>). It looks like it succeeds, but it appears to have failed. Nothing works. </p> <p> Who approves this crap for production? They should apply at Apple, where the same kind of shit festers.... </p> <pre class="wiki">jeffrey@germain:~/boost_1_47_0$ ./bootstrap.sh -n Building Boost.Build engine with toolset ... tools/build/v2/engine/### ### No toolset specified.
