using boost with Visual Studio 2005
Hi! I need to use boost with Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 5.0, but I get the error D:\Boost\boost_1_36_0\boost/config/compiler/visualc.hpp(186) : fatal error C1189: #error : "Compiler not supported or configured - please reconfigure" Is there any possibility that it might work if I changed the configure files for boost? If so, Which file do I have to alter and how? If not.. I need to use boost\multi_array, is there any older version of boost which works for my Visual Studio 5.0 and includes the multi_array class? I´d be very grateful for advice, thx, Natalie Happenhofer _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Are you talking about Visual Studio 2005 or Visual C++ 5.0? _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users

Wow, that is some kind of historical event ;-) but unfortunately VC++ 5 is definitively not supported (since ages I guess). You will even have problems with VC++ 6.0. So don't spend your time to get it run - it won't work because of the non-conformity of this compiler to the C++ language standard. Would the freely available Express version of the Visual Studio family http://www.microsoft.com/express/ be an option for you? Otherwise consider to use the mingw compiler using the Bloodshed IDE http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html HTH & Greetings from Bremen, Daniel Krügler
Thanks. I think I will have to look for another compiler. It is just that I need to link my C++ - program with a fortran program and with Visual C++ 5.0 and Compaq Visual Fortran this has worked once. Greetings, NH

I only see two options: 1) Stay with your compiler but forget about boost (and probably about many other useful C++ libraries which take advantage of templates in more than simple ways). 2) Bite the bullet and try to adapt your VC 5 program to one of the proposed compilers. I guess it is easier for you, if you try the express edition of the Visual Studio compiler first, depending on which parts of the VC 5 library you use. I'm quite sure that there won't be any problems with linking your Fortran code with this compiler. Good luck, Daniel
I've regularly used Compaq V. Fortran with VS2003, never had any problem compiling or linking. Zoltan On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 2:05 PM, Daniel Krügler <dsp@bdal.de> wrote:
