Hi all, I'm using boost with stlport 5.1.5 in msvc 7.1. when I try to use date facets, the compiler complains there is not suitable std::locale ctor, although I can see it in the code and all flags seem to be defined correctly (_STLP_MEMBER_TEMPLATES is defined). I'm trying to compile the following excerpt: 1 std::stringstream str(__DATE__); // for example "Sep 16 2008" 2 3 boost::gregorian::date_input_facet facet("%b %d %Y"); 4 std::locale loc(str.getloc(),facet); 5 str.imbue(loc); 6 7 boost::gregorian::date d; 8 str >> d; The error is in line 4 and the message is that the (templated) ctor does not exist.
