Hi,

This is my second posting; Didn't get any response to my first one. I am having trouble with Boost serialization library. Here is the build log of demo.cpp that came with the library.

I do see that demo.cpp is linked to serialization library ( in Red color) but still I get unresolved symbols. Ramey, where are you?

I'm here, I just don't know what to say. It looks like you've been making progress on your own. Keep up the good work!I can make a couple of observations though:

a) the missing symbols see belong to stl_port.

b) I haven't build or tested with any version of stl_port other than 4.3.

c) There is code in the library with #defines dependent on whether the library used is stl_port and I also believe that there is code which is conditionally compiled depending upon stl_port version number.

d) The library has been built and tested with msvc 6.0 and stl_port 4.3

e) This combination - vc 8.0 and stl_port != 4.3 hasn't been built/tested by me or anyone else as far as I know. In fact, I haven't tested stl_port != 4.3 at all !!! So you're on new territory here.

This is pretty undecipherable to me. it looks lke something ?char_traits? Note that basic_text?primitive has STL_PORT dependend stuff as do other related sutff like add_facet and codecvt_null.

referenced in function "public: __thiscall boost::archive::text_oarchive::text_oarchive(class stlp_std::basic_ostream<char,class stlp_std::char_traits<char> > &,unsigned int)" (??0text_oarchive@archive@boost@@QAE@AAV?$basic_ostream@DV?$char_traits@D@stlp_std@@@stlp_std@@I@Z)

Hmmm -

Good Luck
