Re: [Boost-users] Errors compiling greg_month.cpp
A couple of days ago I requested help (below) as to why greg_month.cpp in 1.33.0 was giving errors under VC++ 6.0. Seeing no response, I guess I'll just go back to 1.30.2, which was the version that has been working fine. Sorry to have troubled you. Doc ----- I just upgraded to 1.33.0, and am getting a bunch of compilation errors with the current version of greg_month.cpp: The list of errors starts with: c:\boost\boost_1_33_0\boost\date_time\gregorian\formatters.hpp(34) : error C2977: 'date_formatter' : too many template arguments c:\boost\boost_1_33_0\boost\date_time\date_formatting_limited.hpp(114) : see declaration of 'date_formatter' c:\boost\boost_1_33_0\boost\date_time\gregorian\formatters.hpp(40) : see reference to function template instantiation 'class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > __cdecl boost::gregorian::to_simpl e There are 31 errors in all. Using VC++ 6.0 on XP Service Pack 2. I would appreciate any gentle pointers as to what I might be doing wrong. Doc

Technically, Visual Studio 6 does not support real C++ - it's lacking in alot of thing, namely in the template area.
c:\boost\boost_1_33_0\boost\date_time\gregorian\formatters.hpp(34) : error C2977: 'date_formatter' : too many template arguments
Too many template arguments... self explainatory. VS6 can't handle all the template args. I'd suggest using a compiler that has a hope of compiling standard c++. If you don't want to pay for VS.NET, there's always mingw and devc++ (among alot of others)

Sorry, I've been insanely busy...I missed your first mail. Are you compiling with bjam or in the IDE? I'm suspecting the IDE b/c most of the library compiles and builds on the VC6 regression platforms. There was a change in 1.33 to the facet code that VC6 can't compile and requires a new macro setting so that VC6 will use the old I/O code. Here's the relevant section from the build notes in case I'm guessing correctly: As of version 1.33, the date_time library introduced a new IO streaming system. Some compilers are not capable of utilizing this new system. For those compilers the earlier ("legacy") IO system is still available. Non-supported compilers will select the legacy system automatically but the user can force the usage of the legacy system by defining USE_DATE_TIME_PRE_1_33_FACET_IO. Whole thing is at: http://www.boost.org/doc/html/date_time/details.html#date_time.buildinfo HTH, Jeff ps: if that's not it please send me the whole bjam log in a private email and we will look at it.
