I read about the platform that boost supports on the boost homepage.
However, I do not know if it supports HP-UX.

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_64_0/libs/log/doc/html/log/installation.html#log.installation.supported_compilers

Supported compilers and platforms. The library should build and work with a
reasonably compliant compiler. The library was successfully built and
tested on the following platforms:

Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7. MSVC 8.0 SP1, MSVC 9.0 and newer.
Linux. GCC 4.5 and newer. Older versions may work too, but it was not
tested. Linux. Intel C++ 13.1.0.146 Build 20130121. Linux. Clang 3.2.

Does that mean it supports HP-UX?

That page is from Boost.Log documentation. It describes the state of
affairs with this particular library but not other libraries or Boost as a
whole.

Not necessarilly. I did not test Boost.Log on HP-UX, but the library works
on Linux and other POSIX-like systems, so chances are it works.

AFAIK, we don't test Boost on HP-UX, so the best way to ensure the
libraries you need work is to consult with their respective docs and build
and run their tests yourself.

As you will have seen, that's not a platform we routinely test on,
however, I see no good reason why it shouldn't work just fine.

I suggest you run the tests for the libraries you're interested in, if
that's Boost.Log, then after bootstrapping with:

./bootstrap.sh
./b2 --with-log

you can then run the log library's tests with:

./b2 libs/log/test

As per the getting started instructions (see
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_64_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#or-build-custom-binaries),
you may need to add toolset=something to the b2 command lines, maybe
also with some flags to turn on C++11 or 14 support if you wanted that,
for example:

./b2 --with-log toolset=gcc cxxflags=-std=c++11

HTH, John.
