And here's what's missing.... I'm using the /Za switch (Disable Language Extensions).

But I'm a bit puzzled. I would have thought that /Za (a more standard compliant mode) would not fail.

That would be a solution but 'long long' appears in quite a few places. So, I think there's something else that I'm missing...

I'm trying to compile some boost code on VC+7.1 but I get:

e:\users\savoiu\Projects\boost-1.30.2\boost\concept_check.hpp(183) : error C2632: 'long' followed by 'long' is illegal

Do I need any #defines when using Boost with VC++7.1 or should it work right out of the box?

I believe this is an error in the concept_check code. Try changing

The problem seems to be that BOOST_HAS_LONG_LONG has two different checks to see if should be defined: 1 @ E:\users\savoiu\Projects\boost\boost\config\suffix.hpp(26):#include # if !defined(BOOST_HAS_LONG_LONG) \ && !(defined(BOOST_MSVC) && BOOST_MSVC <=1300) && !defined(__BORLANDC__) \ && (defined(ULLONG_MAX) || defined(ULONG_LONG_MAX) || defined(ULONGLONG_MAX)) # define BOOST_HAS_LONG_LONG #endif 2 @ E:\users\savoiu\Projects\boost\boost\config\compiler\visualc.hpp(77) #if (_MSC_VER >= 1200) && defined(_MSC_EXTENSIONS) # define BOOST_HAS_MS_INT64 #endif #if (_MSC_VER >= 1310) && defined(_MSC_EXTENSIONS) # define BOOST_HAS_LONG_LONG #endif (2) knows about _MSC_EXTENSIONS but (1) does not. Adding a '(...) || !defined(_MSC_EXTENSIONS)' to the MSVC test in (1) fixes the problem. But it seems to me that BOOST_HAS_LONG_LONG should only be defined in one place to reduce the possibility of things being out of sync.
