Re: [Boost-users] Installation building errors on win with vc71stlport

Hi,

I'm trying to install Boost on windows xp with stlport and Visual Studio .Net 2003. When building it with "bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1- stlport" install" I'm obtaining errors that seems like:

vc-C++ bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\vc-7_1- stlport\debug\threading-multi\greg_month.obj greg_month.cpp C:\Documents and Settings\BOUJAC00\Bureau\boost_1_32_0\boost\lexical_cast.hpp(150) : error C2679: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'boost::date_time::date_names_put::string_type' (or there is no acceptable conversion) with [ Config=boost::gregorian::greg_facet_config, charT=wchar_t,

OutputIterator=std::ostreambuf_iterator> ]

The log of the build is include in log2.txt. Somebody have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Stlport was not built with wchar_t support (this is the default). You have two choices to work around this issue. You can rebuild stlport with wchar_t support by adding /Zc:wchar_t to the makefile and then build date_time with: (from $boost_root) bjam -a "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1-stlport" "-sSTLPORT_PATH=..." "-sBUILD=on" --stagedir=... --with-date_time stage Or, you can build date_time w/o wstrings: bjam -a "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1-stlport" "-sSTLPORT_PATH=..." "-sBUILD=<define>BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING" --stagedir=... --with-date_time stage(adjust the elipses accordingly) --as posted on list by Bart on the dev list Jeff
