[test]Legacy support - Boost 1.34.1 with MSVC 6
I've just started trying to use Boost's Test module. Trouble is I'm still stuck with Visual Studio 6(SP6), so I believe I need to stick with Boost 1.34.1 as the last properly supported for VC6. I'm having trouble getting the examples even to compile (ie exec_mon_example.cpp). Does anyone have any pointers to known incompatibilities between Boost 1.34.1 and VC6SP6 ? Or whether there is a more recent version where the Test module will work with VC6 ? I am well aware of how old VC6 is and would like to move forward. The major aim of getting Boost.Test working with VC6 is to give some confidence that any port to VC12 is working satisfactorily. Regards, Richard.

*ouch* I feel your pain :-)

What happens if you try to work through my tutorials? http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/boost.test/libs/test/doc/html/index.html

I'm afraid that's ancient history for me, so I'm of no help there. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline The Computer Graphics Museum http://computergraphicsmuseum.org The Terminals Wiki http://terminals.classiccmp.org Legalize Adulthood!

Your best bet is to stick with old boost version. For the most part it should just work. I do not think I can do any real investigation with this compiler, but feel free to post the error messages Gennadiy
