Hello all,
When including the boost libraries on a Windows XP SP3 machine via Interix
v3.5 using gcc 3.4.6 I would receive a number of pre-compiler errors
complaining that boost threads were "unavailable on this platform". I
resolved this issue by prepending the following code to the first inclusion
of a boost library:
#ifdef ARCH_Interix // an internal definition
# include
# define BOOST_HAS_THREADS
# define BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS
#endif
There must be a more eloquent way of setting the thread definitions for
Interix from within files such as /boost/thread/detail/platform.hpp or
boost/thread/detail/config.hpp
but I'll leave that to the development teams prerogative.
In any case, making the boost libraries comparable with Interix should not
be overly complex. Please let me know if I can provide more information.
Thanks,
AKF
