Problem to build the libraries on Sun Solaris

We would like start using ;the Boost libraries in our project (especially the graph library).
 
We use the following configuratio:  Solaris (SunOS 5.9 sun4u sparc SUNW, Sun-Fire-V890), using Sun C++ 5.5.
 

The build process create only 6 libraries and a "...skipping XXX targets" messages apears.

 

 The questions are:

       0: If someone know that Solaris/sunpro porting is impossible or very difficault, pls let me know ASAP !!!

1 does Boost support porting to Solaris/sunpro toolset?.

2. if the answer is yes, pls notify me the exact process and parameters

3. if you have makefiles, please send them to me

4. I would like to create the makefiles by myself, but I didn't understand the project tree (LIB - source & include dictionary, ect')

    can anybody guide me how to do that ?

    what is the project tree ?

Thanks.

When was this compiler released? I believe that even the
latest version from 
Sun has problems with Boost. The previous versions are
almost hopeless.

It is very difficult, I believe, because that compiler is
buggy and Boost, and 
in particular the graph library, is very template intensive.

I don't understand the question, sorry. I suppose you can
adjust some boost 
libraries that don't work on that compiler so that they
work, but nobody will 
tell for sure if that's possible and how much time it will
take.

Maybe 

   http://boost.org/more/lib_guide.htm#Directory_structure

will help?

You mean, how to create makefiles. Sorry, this would have to
be manual work.

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

I strongly recommend that you install and use GCC on your Solaris box. I had major problems with Sun's C++ compilers, even before I began to use Boost. Check out http://www.sunfreeware.com/ for a GCC install.
