Compiling error in windows VC8: unrecognized posix_time:: microsec_clock

I'm testing the boost 1_33_1 date_time library, but run into a strange compilation problem. In the following code, second_clock::local_time() is fine, but microsec_clock::local_time() will not compile. I'm using XP and visual studio 2005 and VC8. Am I missing anything in my build? compiler messages: 1>.\t2.cpp(18) : error C2653: 'microsec_clock' : is not a class or namespace name 1>.\t2.cpp(18) : error C3861: 'local_time': identifier not found the code: #include "boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp" #include <iostream> int main() { using namespace boost::posix_time; ptime now = microsec_clock::local_time(); std::cout << now << std::endl; return 0; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.

the code:
#include "boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp" #include <iostream> int main() { using namespace boost::posix_time; ptime now = microsec_clock::local_time(); std::cout << now << std::endl; return 0; }
Did you see my earlier reply? As I said, this passes regression tests on VC8 so I believe it has to be an environmental issue somehow... ------------------------------------------------------------------ Previous reply: ------------------------------------------------------------------ I have no idea what's wrong here and I'm not aware of any issues on vc8. In fact, it passes regression tests for vc8. The only thing I can think is a busted include path, but then I don't know why the second_clock would work.
----- Here is how I built the library ---- "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8"\vc\bin\vcvars32.bat c: cd \dev\boost_1_33_1 bjam -sTOOLS=vc-8_0 --prefix=C:\Dev\Boost --without-python --builddir=build install
The library really isn't needed much....so even if this didn't work it wouldn't cause your symptoms. Sorry, that's not really much help. Jeff

Hello, Cheng,!

If I start bjam in comand line window then I run into various compilation errors while building boost.1.33.1, RC_1_34_0 cvs and cvs HEAD (1.35.0). If I redirect bjam output to a file with ">" command everything works just fine. Really strange and I don't know why. Hope this helps. [Sorry, skipped] With best regards, Serge Skorokhodov.
