Currently I’m just trying to compile the asio chat examples. ... Any pointers in the right general direction would be gratefully appreciated.
Take a look on this: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2010/07/169371.php (Same thread in other interface) http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/207054 There are some patches for Asio and OpenVMS. You don't really need Boost.Build as some libraries are trivial to build manually, for example system is just to compile one file, thread is compile 3 files, that's it. I don't know if this patch is good for latest Asio but it should work with 1.43.0. Some of the patches are already in in later Boost versions but not the Asio's one. One thing I should recommend is to define BOOST_ASIO_HASH_MAP_BUCKETS to some constant (See: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/doc/html/boost_asio/using.html) To workaround a bug in DECCXX standard library where std::list::splice does not work correctly.
