by Bill Eidson 15 Apr '05

15 Apr '05

std::vector< boost::shared_ptr<T> > TVec; I want to write a function object to run std::for_each. to do somework against members of T and accumulate results in functor. My attempts have failed in VC7 with memory errors in my operator() method. struct fo { bool operator()( boost::shared_ptr<T>& t ) { return true; } }; Thanks in advance bille

Will libraries built on WinNT run on Win98? (MinGW)
by Reed Hedges 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

I know that Win98 is not really supported, but is there any chance that libraries (specifically thread and regex) that were build on WinNT using MinGW work on Win98 (in MinGW)? My guess is no, but has anyone tried it? thanks reed

Problem Building boost for cygwin g++ with stlport on WinXP
by Markus Ruettimann 06 Jan '04

06 Jan '04

Hi all I'm an enthusiastic user of boost since quite a long time. I used MSVC6.0 so far. How ever, I changed to cygwin g++ 3.3.1 for project reasons. I have succesfuly built the latest STLPort version (4.6) and I also use it successfully. How ever, I am not able to build the toolset gcc-stlport. There are errors in the threadding lib and elsewhere, and such ugly things as "to long path names" errors in the console. Does anybody know how to build this toolset and link them together as one static lib? I use boost-1.30.2 with cygwin g++ 3.3.1 on winXP professional. PS: When I build the bjam stuff, what builds without any errors, it uses the MSVC compiler (the output it creates looks like this). Is this a problem? Thanks for your help Markus. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

how to get started? (not in documentation)
by Tom Weber 01 Jan '04

01 Jan '04

Hello, I downloaded boost today so regard me as a newbie. Boost seems great, but the documentation doesn't mention how I should install boost on my system (redhat 9), and how to link against the built libraries. Sure I can include it in every project (though it's huge!), and make the makefiles link into strange locations such as libs/test/build/bin/libboost_unit_test_framework.a/gcc/debug/runtime-link-static/threading-single/libboost_unit_test_framework.a Is there an easier way? Why aren't packages like boost-[devel-]VERSION.PLATFORM.rpm made? Why aren't all built libraries put in the same directory, with a simple path name? Why isn't the thread library built statically? Is putting a "lib" section with BOOST_THREAD_BUILD_STATIC=1 in the Jamfile a legal fix? (seems to work) Also... I think boost should have a network library. Can anyone recommend a platform-independent network library? I'm thankful for any answer... -- Cheers, Tom Weber http://www.dd.chalmers.se/~np98towe/

using regex for in-place string modification
by Scott Meyers 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

I want to use regex to modify a string in place. In particular, I've read the contents of a file into a string, now I want to do some search/replace functions on the string, then write the modified string back out to the original file. I've looked through the regex documentation, including the October 2001 DDJ article, but I don't see any way to modify a string in place. From what I can tell, regex_merge looks like it does the kind of thing I want, except it doesn't seem to modify in place. I'd prefer to avoid creating two strings of each file's contents, one before regex processsing, one after. Is there functionality in regex that will let me modify a string in place? Thanks, Scott

problem with regex_fwd.hpp
by Stefan Shishkov 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

Hi, I had a small problem using boost::regexp on MS VC 6.0, boost 1.30.2. In one of my headers I included regex_fwd.hpp. The compilation failed with: ..\boost-1.30.2\boost/detail/allocator.hpp(215): error C2065: 'assert': undeclared identifier Allocator.hpp does not include <cassert> probably relying that it will be included before it. I solved this problem by including <cassert> before regex_fwd.hpp but may be it is better to change allocator.hpp? Or probably something is wrong with my configuration? Best regards Stefan

undirected graph cycle
by magh＠lehigh.edu 27 Dec '03

27 Dec '03

Is there any easy way to use DFS visitors to return a cycle in an undirected graph? The examples show how to detect if a cycle exists. How do you actually extract it? For my instance, I am dealing with an undirected graph that is a 1-tree, i.e., I know there is exactly one cycle.

lexical_cast and whitespace, part 2
by Miro Jurisic 18 Dec '03

18 Dec '03

I was trying to do the following: class MyString; std::istream oprator>>(std::istream&, MyString&); std::string s1 = "Hello, World"; MyString s2 = lexical_cast <MyString> (s); It doesn't work. The reason for it failing is: a. the semantics of operator>>(std::istream&, MyString&) are identical to the semantics of operator>>(std::istream&, std::string&) b. the semantics of operator>>(std::istream&, std::string&) are to read the stream up to the first whitespace (as per the stream locale) c. lexical_cast uses (via lexical_stream) operator>>(std::istream&, MyString&) to read the data into MyString The upshot of this is that lexical_cast writes "Hello, World" to the stream (via operator<<(std::ostream&, const std::string&)), reads off "Hello," to MyString (via operator>>(std::istream&, MyString&)), and then throws a bad lexical_cast after noticing there's data left on the stream. The natural question is why it is that this works when converting to a std::string; it seems that it should have the same problem. The answer is that boost::detail::lexical_stream has a lexical_stream::operator>>(std::string&) which ignores whitespace, thus working around the problem if (and only if) the target type of the cast is std::string. Attempting to use lexical_cast with any string type other than std::string fails when the source data contains (non-trailing) whitespace. This is suboptimal. I am going to try a workaround shortly, by partially specializing lexical_stream, but that's just a workaround. I don't see any way to do this without a. breaking the lexical_cast abstraction barrier (as I am about to do) or b. making the semantics of operator>>(istream&, MyString&) differ from those of operator>>(istream&, std::string&) I don't think either of those is the rigt answer. Is there one? Shouldn't there be one? Thanks, meeroh

Problems with Multi Threaded Version
by Zeros and Ones 18 Dec '03

18 Dec '03

So far I was using the Single Threaded Run Time Library and had no trouble with Boost, however I switched to useing the Run Time Versions just now and found that nothing seemed to work and the error that I get is: "Boost_Regex_vc7_mdid.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" However, the instructions on the website state : "Finally when you use regex++ it is only necessary for you to add the <boost> root directory to your list of include directories for that project. It is not necessary for you to manually add a .lib file to the project; the headers will automatically select the correct .lib file for your build mode and tell the linker to include it. " Im using VC7, and I cant understand why I get this error, do I need to change some setting while linking to the multi threaded versions? For now, I copied the two dll's _boost_regex_vc7_mdid.dll and _boost_regex_vc7_mdi.dll to my working directory and I have a working application, but Im foxed and I would like to know what im doing wrong!

BGL and reversing / moving edges
by joshrose 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

G'day, I was hoping someone might be able to tell me if they've run into any situations using BGL where they needed to move (or reverse (i.e. flip the source and target)) an edge within a graph implemented as an adjacency_list. I'm working on an implementation of an algorithm for max. weight bipartite matching ("the assignment problem"), and one of the assumptions in the algorithm is that non-matched edges are directed from one subgraph, A, to the other subgraph, B, and matched edges are directed the other way. Over the course of growing the matching, a simple way to add and remove edges from the candidate set is just to reverse the edge, thus the need for some way to reverse the edge within BGL. I don't think I can just remove and then re-add the edge in the other direction, primarily because doing so will (I believe) invalidate any edge_descriptors referring to that edge. In particular, there are property maps keeping track of the weight of edges, the predecessors of certain nodes, etc. that use edge descriptors as keys. I've spent a fair bit of time reading the documentation and looking through the implementation of adjacency_lists (incl. edge_list_impl), and I'm not really sure of a way to either move an edge directly within a graph, or even to create a new edge from another s.t. they have the same edge_descriptor (in general a bad thing, probably). Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks, -Josh

Boost Software License: redistribute modified works?
by Steve M. Robbins 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

Hi, I've a question for the drafters of the Boost Software License - Version 1.0 - August 17th, 2003. Put yourself in the position of someone who wants to redistribute a modified version of Boost. For example, the linux distributors like Debian. The license begins with the permission grant: Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person or organization obtaining a copy of the software and accompanying documentation covered by this license (the "Software") to use, reproduce, display, distribute, execute, and transmit the Software, and to prepare derivative works of the Software, and to permit third-parties to whom the Software is furnished to do so, all subject to the following: [... a restriction and a disclaimer paragraph ...] As I read this, "the Software" means "the unmodified tar or zip file obtained from boost.org". Is that correct? I'm permitted to "prepare derivative works of the Software", but the license doesn't specify what I may do with my derivative works. Clearly, I may distribute "the Software", but may I distribute the derivative work? Some licenses (e.g. the BSD and the GPL) make it clear that the terms apply to both the software and to derivative works. Shouldn't the boost license do likewise? -Steve

building boost libraries on Solaris
by K. Herman Chen 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

Has anyone built Boost Libraries using Sun/Solaris CC? I first built bjam using gcc on Solaris. But in the next step, 'bjam "-sTOOLS=CC"' (ie Solaris CC), it failed miserably. Since CC is not in the Supported Toolsets, does it mean I cannot build Boost libraries using Sun/Solaris CC? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks. herman

msvc-stlport creates name mangled functions with std:: not _STL::
by John Bustard 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

I can't seem to link with the filesystem lib when built with the following options: rem Get environment right for compiler -- comment out after first run rem "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\VCVARS32.BAT" rem Setup for Boost.Python rem Setup for Boost 'toolset' set STLPORT_PATH=C:\ set STLPORT_4.6_PATH=C:\STLport-4.6 set STLPORT_VERSION=4.6 bin.ntx86\bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc-stlport" "-sBUILD=<stlport-iostream>on" the name mangled function that is exported is ?leaf@path@filesystem@boost@@QBE?AV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@XZ but the function that msvc tries to link with is: ?leaf@path@filesystem@boost@@QBE?AV?$basic_string@DV?$char_traits@D@_STL@@V? $allocator@D@2@@_STL@@XZ Two things I've noticed that are a bit wierd are that the boost libs are put in stlport-4.5.3 directory even when built with the options directing it to 4.6. Also stlport has an option to put itself in the std namespace but merely #defines std as _STL so I would have expected the exported function from the boost library to be _STL not std. Any ideas, thanks John

RE: [Boost-users] find japanese character with boost regex++

Aside from the unified Han characters (kanji/hanzi), characters of the same category generally aren't neatly grouped together in Unicode. The 128-character blocks tend to correspond to locales, communities of use or specific legacy encodings and not to categories. You need a look-up table (or more efficiently two levels of table) to check character categories.

find japanese character with boost regex++
by jschmid 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

Hi, I have just discovered the incredible boost and regex++ libraries but I have encountered some difficulties... I read that the japanese special encoding is handled in regex++, specially using wide char wchar characters. In the regex++ faq, it is presented the system of class , ex. [[:space]], in order to define a set of characters with a same property. I have been looking for a kind of [[:Japanese characters]] class. Actually I have a text with a lot of strange characters and japanese one ( Hiragana, katakan, Kanji everything..!) and I want to find these japanese sentence in order to translate them and replace in the text. I need hence a way in order to identify a japanese sentence . A kind of function const bool isJap( const wchar ) const would be fine. So if somebody has any idea or a some links, I would appreciate it! Thanks! Schmid

problem with shared_ptr
by Eyal Fink 14 Dec '03

14 Dec '03

I am using boost share_ptr and I have a very strange problem. it looks to me more like a compiler problem but since it is a boost code I decided to post it here. I haven't succeeded to creating a small example which I can post here and demonstrate the problem (I know it is hard to help that way but I am working on creating an example) so I will just describe it. The symptom is that the shared_ptr call the delete on a random pointer. Going into the shared_ptr and shared_count objects, I sow that the ptr field of sp_counted_base_impl has a wrong value. I have added prints out all over the code and saw that inside the constructor of sp_counted_base_impl the value is set correctly but on the return when I try to look at the value and it is a wrong value. adding some more prints I saw that inside the shared_count constructor: template<class P, class D> shared_count(P p, D d) when casting pi_ to (sp_counted_base_impl<P, D>*) and calling a member function, the sizeof(*this) in side the member function is not the same every time (resulting with a different address to ptr and thus different value). the problem occurs only when compiling -O I am attaching the two file I have changes (shared_count.hpp is from boost/detail/) and the prints there created. I am sorry I can't supplied a complete example, this problems can just disappear when I remove any object file from the compilation. my configuration: compiler: gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7) OS: Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche) boost: boost-1.30.2 any help will be appreciated #ifndef BOOST_SHARED_PTR_HPP_INCLUDED #define BOOST_SHARED_PTR_HPP_INCLUDED // // shared_ptr.hpp // // (C) Copyright Greg Colvin and Beman Dawes 1998, 1999. // Copyright (c) 2001, 2002, 2003 Peter Dimov // // Permission to copy, use, modify, sell and distribute this software // is granted provided this copyright notice appears in all copies. // This software is provided "as is" without express or implied // warranty, and with no claim as to its suitability for any purpose. // // See http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.htm for documentation. // #include <boost/config.hpp> // for broken compiler workarounds #if defined(BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATES) && !defined(BOOST_MSVC6_MEMBER_TEMPLATES) #include <boost/detail/shared_ptr_nmt.hpp> #else #include <boost/assert.hpp> #include <boost/checked_delete.hpp> #include <boost/throw_exception.hpp> #include <boost/detail/shared_count.hpp> #include <boost/detail/workaround.hpp> #include <memory> // for std::auto_ptr #include <algorithm> // for std::swap #include <functional> // for std::less #include <typeinfo> // for std::bad_cast #include <iosfwd> // for std::basic_ostream #ifdef BOOST_MSVC // moved here to work around VC++ compiler crash # pragma warning(push) # pragma warning(disable:4284) // odd return type for operator-> #endif namespace boost { template<class T> class weak_ptr; template<class T> class enable_shared_from_this; namespace detail { struct static_cast_tag {}; struct dynamic_cast_tag {}; struct polymorphic_cast_tag {}; template<class T> struct shared_ptr_traits { typedef T & reference; }; template<> struct shared_ptr_traits<void> { typedef void reference; }; #if !defined(BOOST_NO_CV_VOID_SPECIALIZATIONS) template<> struct shared_ptr_traits<void const> { typedef void reference; }; #endif // enable_shared_from_this support template<class T, class Y> void sp_enable_shared_from_this(boost::enable_shared_from_this<T> * pe, Y * px, shared_count const & pn) { if(pe != 0) pe->_internal_weak_this._internal_assign(px, pn); } inline void sp_enable_shared_from_this(void const *, void const *, shared_count const &) { } } // namespace detail // // shared_ptr // // An enhanced relative of scoped_ptr with reference counted copy semantics. // The object pointed to is deleted when the last shared_ptr pointing to it // is destroyed or reset. // template<class T> class shared_ptr { private: // Borland 5.5.1 specific workaround typedef shared_ptr<T> this_type; public: typedef T element_type; typedef T value_type; typedef T * pointer; typedef typename detail::shared_ptr_traits<T>::reference reference; shared_ptr(): px(0), pn() // never throws in 1.30+ { } template<class Y> explicit shared_ptr(Y * p): px(p), pn(p, checked_deleter<Y>()) // Y must be complete // Eyal Fink changed that!!!

Newbie question: block read inputs to regex
by annirak＠shaw.ca 13 Dec '03

13 Dec '03

I'm using regex_grep() to search through file contents for matches. I want to read the file in blocks to keep memory use down for large files. What I want to know is whether there is some way of adding the next block of memory to the grep where the last one left off. The best solution I can come up with is using some sort of double-buffering scheme, but that would take an awful lot of memory copies and searching some text multiple times. Both things I would prefer to avoid. What can I do? --Brendan

Actually it is a byte file where some pieces are japanese sentences and others are byte controls like 0x00 ( which introduces more difficulties because you cannot parse the text as a string because 0x00 is an end character... ). So I thinks I have to parse bytes by pair and try to identify them as Shift-JIS when it is the case. Any idea of a function or program that does it? Thanks, jschmid

R: [Boost-users] filesystem::copy_file throws -- but why?
by Galante Michele 12 Dec '03

12 Dec '03

I think you should rewrite your code either as: int processFile(const fs::path& fileName) { fs::path copyFileName(fileName.string() + ".bak"); fs::copy_file(fileName, copyFileName); } or as: int processFile(const fs::path& fileName) { fs::path copyFileName(fileName.native_file_string() + ".bak", fs::native); fs::copy_file(fileName, copyFileName); } In your example you are creating a fs::path from a string in "native" form by using the default constructor, which expects the string to be in "generic" form. Hope this helps.

Need linking help for boost::filesystem
by Scott Meyers 12 Dec '03

12 Dec '03

I'd like to play with boost::filesystem, and this turns out to be the first boost library I've tried to use that requires that I build something first. I downloaded bjam, and it appears that I have successfully built filesystem libraries for the compilers I care about (VC6, VC7.1, gcc, and como), because there is a subdirectory for each of them under the libboost_filesystem.lib directory, and each subdirectory, if you push down far enough, has .obj files under both debug and release. But I can't get anything to link. I can get the sample filesystem app (simple_ls.cpp) to compile cleanly under all compilers, but nothing will link. It seems clear that I somehow need to tell the linker where to find the appropriate filesystem libraries, but I'm not sure where to point it. Help? I'm running Windows 2000. Thanks, Scott

newbie BGL problem: core dump due to graph size
by duccio.medini＠tin.it 12 Dec '03

12 Dec '03

Hi all. I am calculating the connected components of af graph with a c++ code written with BGL. My graph is huge (4E+05 vertexes, 10^6 ~ 10^8 edges). The code uses the connected_components algorithm (or, in a different version, directly the depth_first_visit one) and works well up to a "reasonable" number of edges in the graph. Over this threshold it core dumps. I have the same problem both on SPARC Solaris 9 g++3.2.2 and on Intel Linux 2.4 g++3.1 . I know that it should not be a problem of the RAM memory available on the system (or addressable form a single istance). I am able to use up to 6-7 GBs of RAM, and it tipically core dumps at 2.5-5 GBs. I suspect that I'm violating some intrinsic size limit in the BGL adjacency_list class or similar. Are there such limits, and can they be extended? Any clue would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance! Duccio Medini

Shared_ptr and constness
by cyril.godart＠bnpparibas.com 12 Dec '03

12 Dec '03

Hi, Just out of curiosity. I am increasingly using the smart_ptr and more specifically the shared_ptr but I came to realize that actually it rather violently breaches the constness rules. The example below is one of the many things you can do with a shared pointer that is forbidden with a naked pointer. As the shared_ptr penetrates even further in my code I come to realize that what I am gaining on the comfort side I loose on the safety. Clearly, that's my call but I was curious to know if it is a known fact that it is impossible to enforce constness rules. Cyril Godart Quantitative Analyst BNP Paribas. struct A { int bar; }; typedef boost::shared_ptr<A> A_ptr_t; void foo(const A_ptr_t& a) { a->bar++;//semantically this should not be possible. } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { A_ptr_t a(new A); a->bar = 1; foo(a); return 0; } This message and any attachments (the "message") is intended solely for the addressees and is confidential.

filesystem::copy_file throws -- but why?
by Scott Meyers 11 Dec '03

11 Dec '03

I'm trying to use copy_file to, well, copy a file to a backup file (signified by adding ".bak" to the file's name). Here's what I'm doing, chopped way down: int processFile(const fs::path& fileName) { fs::path copyFileName(fileName.native_file_string() + ".bak"); fs::copy_file(fileName, copyFileName); } This throws an exception: boost::filesystem::path: invalid name "D:\Temp\CDFix\INDEX.HTM.bak" in path: "D:\Temp\CDFix \INDEX.HTM.bak" I don't see what's invalid about this name. From what I can tell, I'm fulfilling copy_file's preconditions and not falling into one of the cases where it's supposed to throw. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Scott

Need linking help for boost::filesystem
by Witz 10 Dec '03

10 Dec '03

I had the same problem on VC7.1 - multiply defined symbols and thought i was just being dumb - with Scott having the same problem, maybe i wasn't :) I got round it by including the source files in the project i was working on - not the solution i'd have liked but it has the benefit of working and allowing me to get on with doing my 'proper' coding. So, are we going to be seeing 'Effective Boost' in the near future then Scott? :) Ian Whittley

I tried building the graph library and the graph examples with bjam. I am using gcc 3.2.1 on Solaris 2.8. The library seemed to build successfully but did have warnings. The examples failed to build complaining that it could not find the dependent graph library which seems to be a problem with my LD_LIBRARY_PATH or something like that. The build outputs for both cases are given below. I did not do any customizing for either of these builds. My cmd line was bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" Any help is appreciated.

You shouldn't see that when building the source, only when trying to link a dll of exe that uses the lib - but in any case defining BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB when building your code will stop the headers from looking for a lib to link to, and allow you to specify your own lib to link to. I hope that makes it clear :-) John.

bind/function/??? - accessing global function static type with runtime dll
by Jeff Flinn 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

I'm interfacing with several 'C' dynamic link libraries each with the same interface. The appropriate libraries get loaded/unloaded at run time. The following is an attempt create a wrapper that returns a function pointer of the proper static type as declared for the 'C' functions. //------------------------------ class DLL { HMODULE mDLLHdl; public: ~DLL(){ FreeLibrary( mDLLHdl ); } DLL( const std::string& aDLLName ) :mDLLHdl( LoadLibrary( aDLLName.c_str() ) ){} operator bool()const{ return mDLLHdl; } operator HMODULE()const{ return mDLLHdl; } template< typename TFnc > TFnc Fnc( const std::string& aName, TFnc )const { return (TFnc)GetProcAddress( mDLLHdl, aName.c_str() ); } }; //------------------------------ With: typedef int (FAR WINAPI *FARPROC)(); FARPROC GetProcAddress( HMODULE hModule, // handle to DLL module LPCSTR lpProcName // function name ); For example, it's used as follows: //------------------------------ // declared in an included header with extern "C" int DoAttach( const char* aName, int attachMode ); DLL lSomeDll( "Some.dll" ); boost::function0<int> lFnc = boost::bind( lSomeDll.Fnc( "DoAttach", DoAttach ), "Name", 123 ); //------------------------------ Which compiles fine, but results in unresolved external symbols errors during linking for 'DoAttach' in this example. I can force-link and run the resulting executable w/out problem. Is there a way to get the type of the function without the compiler needing to use the function pointer itself? Thanks, Jeff

hi, I seem to be having problems with ublas in combination with msvc 7.1. Compiling the code below results in a whole slew of errors of the form: 'use of undefined type 'boost::numeric::SOME_MATRIX_TYPE<ARGS>::const_iterator2' Am i doing something dumb or is something broken? #include <boost/numeric/ublas/triangular.hpp> int main() { using namespace boost::numeric::ublas; triangular_matrix<int,lower> ldm(4,4); } I.M.Whittley

Vertex descriptors in adjacancy_list
by Ali Tofigh 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

Is there any guarantee that Vertex descriptors are some kind of integers? In the examples provided add_edge is called with integers as vertex descriptors. Does the choice of parameters for the adjacency_list graph make a difference on this issue? E.g. whether the we choose vecS or listS as VertexList? If future flexibility of the program being written is a factor (e.g. if we want it to be easy to change the definition of the graphs without necessarily changing other parts of the code) is it better to use add_vertex, followed by add_edge using the vertex descriptors returned by add_vertex? Regards, A. T.

I have noticed something similar with msvc 7.1. Could you try please to locate the first occurence of the error and prefix any template deduced type with "typename". In the example you give: typename boost::numeric::SOME_MATRIX_TYPE<ARGS>::const_iterator2 and check that this precise compile error disappears ? (I have realised the code is boost::ublas'). This does not intend to solve your problem but to point to what vc7.1 is expecting. I am not sure whether that should be strict ISO C++. Regards, Cyril Godart.

Hi, first-time poster. Got an automated reply to the effect that my first post would be moderated; but later I got another automated email about the moderator being on vacation; and I'm in a hurry, so I hope it's okay for me to re-post here. I'm using latest betas for Digital Mars, STLport and BOOST, and I'm trying to compile a state-machine using boost's fsm::state_machine. My include line is as follows: G:\boost-1.30.2;G:\boost-1.30.2\boost\mpl;G:\boost-1.30.2\libs\mpl\example\fsm;G:\dm\STLport-5.0-1031\stlport;G:\dm\include Here's the top of my file: ............................................................................... #include <iostream> #include "boost/mpl/list.hpp" #include "state_machine.hpp" namespace mpl = boost::mpl; class rec_frm_sm : fsm::state_machine<rec_frm_sm> { public: ...............................................................................

Any help would be appreciated. Yours. dan
