How about a link to the burgeoning Wiki?
by Jon Kalb 16 Oct '01

16 Oct '01

I've added a Wiki link to the Group Bookmarks and also a link to the FAQ on the Wiki. We need to build that up. :) I also added a link to the Group Bookmarks page on the Group home page. ===== Jon Kalb Kalb(a)LibertySoft.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

precompiled jam executables uploaded
by Toon Knapen 13 Oct '01

13 Oct '01

I just uploaded precompiled jam executables to the Files section for linuxx86, irix and solaris. I also added an InstallingBoost page to the Wiki with links to these executables. I hope this helps people with using the Boost.Build system. I gzip'ed the executables (except for the linux one) since I'm not sure if users find it a hassle to gunzip them first. It would safe space in the Files section though. People with jam executables for other platforms, please add them or transfer them … [View More]

Building with Comeau
by Dale Peakall 12 Oct '01

12 Oct '01

Anyone had any success using the new build system with Comeau C++ on Win32 (MSVC6)? I'm using the pre-compiled Win32 jam binary from the FreeType project. Is this still suitable? I noticed Dave has checked in a whole bunch of changes to SourceForge. If not, is there an easy way to get the whole branch out of CVS? I've only ever used the web-interface which doesn't seem to provide this facility. The first problem I encountered was jam trying to use mv. After replacing the $(MV) … [View More]

Thread Summary Experiment -- on the Wiki
by Jeff Garland 08 Oct '01

08 Oct '01

Last week we were having a discussion about the sort of content that might, or might not belong on the Wiki. I have tried another small experiment that might be a useful approach to augmenting the current boost information. The idea is to build a summary of mailing list discussion threads related to each library (or other topics). Many of the discussion on the mailing list can provide insight into the library design as well as solutions to specific problems not necessarily incorporated in … [View More]

concept_check and B&N trick
by Eric Ford 03 Oct '01

03 Oct '01

I ran into problems using BOOST_CLASS_REQUIRES in conjunction with the base class in the Barton-Nackman trick/Curiously recursive template technique. I want to require functions that take the derived type as an argument. So I declare a variable of the derived at struct level in the concept class, but then g++ (2.95) complains about it being an invalid use of undefined type... forward declaration... . Is there a way to make this work? If so, does anyone have/know of an example I can see … [View More]

Building regex/1.25.0 with MSVC6SP5, STLPort 4.0

Hi there, I've been trying to build the regex library but failed miserably.

I don't use STLPort, but you might try a slight modification to boost/config/suffix.hpp. Search for BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE, and you'll see the line: namespace std { using ::ptrdiff_t; using ::size_t; } Try adding "using ::ctype;… [View More]
