Is there a way to work around this problem in boost ?

We're using boost::serialization under CE. Our workaround for the missing <locale> header is the following: First we wrote a faked <locale>-header containing just the stuff the compiler needs. This would be something like: <snip> #pragma once namespace std { class locale { public: static locale classic() { return locale(); } }; class codecvt_base { public: typedef int result; }; template class codecvt : public codecvt_base { public: codecvt(size_t s){} }; } <snap> After this, we had to 'patch' some boost files. In fact we removed/commented out all the stuff accessing the locale stuff. The files we needed to patch are: - boost/io/ios_state.hpp - boost/archive/impl/basic_text_iprimitive.ipp - boost/archive/impl/basic_text_oprimitive.ipp It works fine for us. An other way might be to use another STL implementation (like STLPort) containing the missing headers. Regards Christian Ewald

The standard <locale> include file is not shipped with the windows CE/mobile sdks, and therefore lots of boost parts are unusable.

defining BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE may go some way towards fixing that. HTH, John.
