Re: [Boost-users] Compile errors including boost/regex.hpp

I did #include as the first include statement. I'm the only one writing this program. I haven't defined a macro "test" anywhere. I even grepped for 'test' and found it only used as the BASH command "test" in configure and Makefile files (automatically generated from autotools).

Any ideas why this occurs? Maybe it's because I'm not including -lbooost_regex as a compile option? I specified it as my "myproject_LDADD" macro in Makefile.am so I assume g++ knows when to use it.

Yes you need to add -lboost_regex as a *linker* option, but the error is occuring because someone has defined "test" as a macro which is a very very bad idea! Try making boost/regex.hpp the first #include.
