Re: [dcplusplus-devel] patch: MSVC compiling

[poy <po...@12...>]

i have tried again using the boost folder from the current repository, and 
it appears the include error was much easier to solve than updating all 
boost files... all i had to do was make the "BOOST_HAS_GCC_TR1" define 
available for MSVC too (yes, it doesn't sound correct, but boost assumes you 
have all tr1 containers only in that case; that's up to future boost 
versions to fix that...).

note; when compiling with MSVC 9, boost warns "Unknown compiler version - 
please run the configure tests and report the results". this is not 
important, and upgrading boost to 1.35 would remove the warning.

the new patch is much lighter and hopefully easier to read. its 1MB+ size is 
caused by the pre-compiled openssl libraries that are included.

the mailing-list still won't accept it so it's here:
