Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] compile error building with boost 1.45 and VS2008

[Ryan B. <rb...@pd...>]

Correct, I'm using netlib 0.8.1. 

Fortunately I figured it out, after taking a break from the problem.

The fix was to remove BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T define that we have been using to build boost.

Here is the error, in case anyone else comes across the same problem.

1>C:\Work\trunk\boost_1_45_0\boost/type_traits/make_unsigned.hpp(38) : error C2027: use of undefined type 'boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE<x>'

Hi Ryan,

Can you post a minimal example? How about if you just include that in
an (empty) cpp file like this:

  #include <boost/network/protocol/http/client.hpp>

  int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
    return 0;
  }

Do you still get the error?

0.8.1 you mean?

It would be hard to diagnose the problem without more context. Can you
post the full error? Or is the above the full error that you get?

Unfortunately I have no access to VS2008 at the moment. For the
meantime maybe others can help out?

I'm sorry I can't be of much help yet. Looking forward to being able
to help you out more later.
