Re: [Boost-users] Building boost to NOT USE built-in Visual Studio 2010TR1 random

The objective is to get exactly the same random number generator behaviour for the same application built with VS2005, VS2010 and Gnu compilers.

You can't force the Boost.TR1 library *not* to use the native version if it's available since those names have already been taken up in std::tr1. Just use Boost.Random directly instead.

HTH, John.

Thanks John, it did help! After reading your reply and looking at the boost header files (read the flaming source!) I realised that one must use the boost::random namespace qualifier instead of std::tr1. It works beautifully now! thanks! nelis
