Some QNX 6.5SDK builds broken with Boost 1.49 bjam?

[steven.lemay@…]

QNX qcc 4.4.2 shows as supported and tested on the boost.org website, but I have been having problems building all the projects on Windows (from .zip file) with QNX 6.5 SDK targeting x86. The first change that helped compile 11 projects was as follows:

''In file tools\build\v2\tools\qcc.jam, in the “actions piecemeal archive” block, replace the line: ar rc "$(<)" "$(>)" with the following: ntox86-ar rc "$(<)" "$(>)"
''

I assume there is a better "fix" for ar ... but I'm uncertain what needs to change.

With the following bjam I get success, and the remaining projects failure. Thread is used as an example, as it is trying to build win32 files.

bjam -q --prefix=%DRIVE%\boost --build-type=minimal --build-dir=%DRIVE%\boostBuild_%BOOSTVER% --layout=system toolset=qcc target-os=qnxnto --variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared --without-graph --without-graph_parallel --without-locale --without-mpi --without-python --without-regex --without-serialization --without-test --without-thread --without-wave install

bjam -q --prefix=%DRIVE%\boost --build-type=minimal --build-dir=%DRIVE%\boostBuild_%BOOSTVER% --layout=system toolset=qcc target-os=qnxnto --variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared --with-thread install

I get results like the following (again, thread as an example). What am I doing wrong?

[steven.lemay@…]

I was able to address this build issue with the following bjam. If anyone has discovered a better configuration please let me know.

SET DRIVE=D: SET BOOSTVER=1_49_0

bjam -a -q -j4 --prefix=%DRIVE%\boost --build-type=minimal --build-dir=%DRIVE%\boostBuild_%BOOSTVER% --layout=system toolset=qcc target-os=qnxnto threadapi=pthread --

variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared --without-python --without-mpi install >build.log 2>&1

Boost.Thread uses win32 api on windows by default. The way you are using now seems to me the correct one.

bjam target-os=qnxnto threadapi=pthread

Could we close the ticket?
