I am using boost library version 1.54 with gcc --std=c++11. I am trying a simple use of geometry::intersection as follows: #include <boost/geometry.hpp> #include <boost/geometry/geometries/point_xy.hpp> #include <boost/geometry/geometries/polygon.hpp> #include <boost/geometry/geometries/adapted/boost_polygon.hpp> using namespace boost::geometry; ...... typedef model::d2::point_xy<double> point_xy; model::polygon<point_xy> clipBounds; // add points to clipBounds model::polygon<point_xy> area; // add points to area model::polygon<point_xy> result; if(boost::geometry::intersection(area, clipBounds, result)) { std::cout << std::endl << "Boost intersection, size = " << num_points(result) << std::endl; } If I comment out the call to intersection, everything compiles. With it I get: In file included from /usr/include/boost/serialization/level.hpp:28:0, from /usr/include/boost/serialization/nvp.hpp:31, from ...: /usr/include/boost/mpl/eval_if.hpp: In instantiation of ‘struct boost::mpl::eval_if_c<false, boost::range_const_iterator<boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> > >, boost::range_mutable_iterator<boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> > > >’: /usr/include/boost/range/iterator.hpp:63:63: required from ‘struct boost::range_iterator<boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> > >’ /usr/include/boost/range/value_type.hpp:30:12: required from ‘struct boost::range_value<boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> > >’ /usr/include/boost/geometry/algorithms/intersection.hpp:97:64: required from ‘static bool boost::geometry::dispatch::intersection<Geometry1, Geometry2, Tag1, Tag2, Reverse>::apply(const Geometry1&, const Geometry2&, GeometryOut&, const Strategy&) [with GeometryOut = boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> >; Strategy = boost::geometry::strategy_intersection<boost::geometry::cartesian_tag, boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> >, boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> >, boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian>, void>; Geometry1 = boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> >; Geometry2 = boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> >; Tag1 = boost::geometry::polygon_tag; Tag2 = boost::geometry::polygon_tag; bool Reverse = false]’ /usr/include/boost/geometry/algorithms/intersection.hpp:201:67: required from ‘bool boost::geometry::intersection(const Geometry1&, const Geometry2&, GeometryOut&) [with Geometry1 = boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> >; Geometry2 = boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> >; GeometryOut = boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> >]’ /home/stanley/workspace/worldmodel/metric/map/GISCache.cpp:2492:62: required from here /usr/include/boost/mpl/eval_if.hpp:60:31: error: no type named ‘type’ in ‘boost::mpl::eval_if_c<false, boost::range_const_iterator<boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> > >, boost::range_mutable_iterator<boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> > > >::f_ {aka struct boost::range_mutable_iterator<boost::geometry::model::polygon<boost::geometry::model::d2::point_xy<double, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian> > >}’ typedef typename f_::type type; Since my code is virtually identical to the sample code in the documentation, I am very puzzled by this. What have I missed? How do I get this to compile? (I do find it odd that this error refers to boost/serialization rather than boost/geometry, but I suppose that has to do with the order of inclusion). -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/geometry-Cannot-compile-boost-geometry-in...
