[Quantlib-dev] 'basic_filesystem_error' : is not a member of 'boost::filesystem' error and 'BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION' : macro redefinition warning

[Don S. <Don...@fs...>]

Hi Luigi,
I encountered the following error when building QuantLibXL_full_vc10.sln
from the QuantLib 1.1 release candidates ( downloaded from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/quantlib/files/prerelease/) under
Visual C++ 2010/boost 1.46.1.
 
 
warning C4005: 'BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION' : macro redefinition
3>          d:\clib\include\boost_1_46_1\boost\filesystem.hpp(24) : see
previous definition of 'BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION'

I was able to resolve this error by moving the line
 
#define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 2
 
in ObjectHandler\oh\serializationfactory.cpp above #include
<boost/filesystem.hpp> as described in
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/filesystem/v3/doc/index.htm
