Having a problem getting the following to compile under a Linux system
(Mint 17.2, boost 1.54). It works okay with MSVC2010 and boost 1.57 though.
**begin: main.cpp**
#include
namespace fs = boost::filesystem;
#include
namespace po = boost::program_options;
void test(fs::path& cfg_path, po::options_description& cfg_desc,
po::variables_map& options)
{
po::store(po::parse_config_file(fs::ifstream(cfg_path), cfg_desc,
true), options);
}
**end: main.cpp**
Is this just a problem with 1.54's version of filesystem and/or program
options?
