Sure! The console output is below. The files in question are utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp, which is in libs/detail, and its header file, which is in boost/detail.

[snip] Are you sure that you need to compile libs/detail/utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp? boost/detail/utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp has this comment: // Until the above points are fixed, a library which wants to use utf8 must: // - include this header from one of it's headers or sources // - include the corresponding .cpp file from one of the sources // - before including either file, the library must define // - BOOST_UTF8_BEGIN_NAMESPACE to the namespace declaration that must be used // - BOOST_UTF8_END_NAMESPACE to the code to close the previous namespace // - declaration. // - BOOST_UTF8_DECL -- to the code which must be used for all 'exportable' // symbols. from which it seems that the corresponding .cpp is not designed to be built directly, but via inclusion from another Boost lib.
