Hello all. I am trying to port a C++ program developed on Linux/g++ to Windows using MinGW. Boost was a joy to compile using MinGW and bjam and my program compiles fine, but failes during linking. The offending function calls seem to be two calls to program_options::store: po::store(po::command_line_parser(argc, argv).options(desc).positional(p).run(), vm); po::store(po::parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc), vm); Commenting out these two lines makes my program compile, but without parsing the command line of course. This problem seems to be related to mingw lacking wchar support. Apparently, Valadimir Prus made some patches for this in 2004. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/boost/2082829 I have recompiled program_options with his patched, but to no avail. Is anyone successfully using program_options using mingw?
