Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #65: Complete inability to install under HP-U https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/65 <pre class="wiki">I would have put this through the yahoo group, but I'm stuck behind a mind-bogglingly repressive firewall. SO I'll scream for help here, bearing in mind the dictum that in cyberspace no-one can hear you scream. I have download 1.27.0, and am attempting to build and use Boost under HP-UX 11.00. There are two problems, and I cannot tell if they are related or not. Firstly, the install instructions along the lines of jam -sBOOST_ROOT=. -=sTOOLS="hpux" simply produce the following (after I bodgied up a hpux-tools.jam) +: line 1304: yacc stack overflow at keyword } don't know how to make all ...found 1 target... ...can't find 1 target... after smacking my head on the desk for several days, I've given up on that one and attempted to build boost_1_27_0/libs/tuple/test/io_test.cpp using aCC -c +z +p $APP_INCLUDE -o io_test.o io_test.cpp (where APP_INCLUDE is -I &lt;yada/yada/yada&gt; as appropriate) which results in "tuple_basic.hpp", line 290 # Cannot generate a specialization of incomplete template struct STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE&lt;(bool)0&gt;. BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(length&lt;cons&gt;::value == 2); // check length = and errors cascading after that. Looking at various messages and comments, I believe that someone somewhere has managed to get boost working under HP- UX, but I'm dammned if I can. Help! Oh yes, by the way, I'm stuck behind a repressive firewall and cannot even *read* the message archive at Yahoo, let alone subscribe / post!
