[Stlport-devel] STLport 5.1 + msvc71 + Boost

[Michael F. <mic...@as...>]

Hi,
I tried to compile Boost using msvc71 and with STLport 5.1 revision 2569.
The command line used was the following (using Boost.Build v1):

bjam "-sTOOLS=3Dvc-7_1-stlport" "-sSTLPORT_VERSION=3D5.1"
"-sSTLPORT_5.1_PATH=3D%STLPORT_PATH%" "-sBUILD=3Ddebug <runtime-link>dyna=
mic
<threading>multi <native-wchar_t>off <stlport-cross>on" --without-python
stage

%STLPORT_PATH% was set to the STLport base path.

Everything compiled without problems, except from one single file in the
Boost.Iostreams library:

bin\boost\libs\iostreams\build\libboost_iostreams.lib\vc-7_1-stlport\debu=
g\stlport-cross-on\threading-multi\file_descriptor.obj
file_descriptor.cpp
{path}\boost-1.34-cvs\boost\iostreams\positioning.hpp(27) : error C2039:
'fpos_t' : is not a member of 'operator``global namespace'''
{path}\boost-1.34-cvs\boost\iostreams\positioning.hpp(27) : error C2873:
'fpos_t' : symbol cannot be used in a using-declaration

positioning.hpp around line 27 reads:

namespace std { using ::fpos_t; }

The Boost developers here don't trust all C Standard libraries to provide
symbols in the std namespace, so they do it themselves. Could it be that
STLport is missing such an import into std namespace for fpos_t, too? The
line works when compiling without STLport.
