I am trying to modify a current MFC application running on Windows NT4 to use boost libraries for ethernet communcications (originally, it used CommX for serial) and general increased performance, effieciency, and clarity of code.
I started out modifying it in VS2010, but I found that I was unable to produce a valid NT4 app with VS2010. I googled the issue and found that VS2005 was the last version able to create an NT4 app. I got everything to compile in VS2005, but found that I had to change certain #define statements in stdafx.h in order to get the app to run on NT4. However, even after doing that, when I execute the program on NT4, it immediately quits with no error. It doesn't show anything. I even checked the Task Manager processes while executing it. It is like it never executed at all.
I got desperate and tried compiling the app in VS2003, but I got so many errors that I gave that up.
I know that we built apps targeting Win2000 (and later) using VS2003 and boost 1_33 through 1_35, and MFC. It is not clear whether you are experiencing boost issues as we dont know what errors you are getting. Normally you need to define a variety of macros in your headers (often stdafx.h) to define your minimum targets. For WinNT 4.0: _WIN32_NT >= 0x0400 and WINVER >= 0x0400 Ed
