Thread: [Cppcms-users] ambiguous overload with boost and booster

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello,

I am trying to use boost, but booster is wrecking havock.

I have this boost ptr list:

boost::ptr_list<categories_form> 

categories_form inherits from cppcms::form.

When I compile, I get the error:

/usr/include/boost/ptr_container/clone_allocator.hpp:56:9:
error: call of overloaded 
'checked_delete(const categories_form*&)' is ambiguous

Candidates are:

/usr/include/boost/checked_delete.hpp:29:31:
void boost::checked_delete(const categories_form*)

and:

/usr/local/include/booster/checked_delete.h:25:31:
void booster::checked_delete(const categories_form*)

Note the include files.
The only difference is boost vs booster: 
boost::checked_delete(...)
booster::checked_delete(...)

Now, I had to install booster to install cppcms.

Also, booster does not implement ptr_list:

$ locate ptr_list.hpp
/usr/include/boost/ptr_container/ptr_list.hpp
/usr/include/boost/ptr_container/serialize_ptr_list.hpp
/usr/include/boost/spirit/home/support/detail/lexer/containers/ptr_list.hpp

I wonder why the compiler is looking into the booster:: namespace.

How do I configure cmake or whatever to prevent confusing the compiler?

thanks
