while trying to make Boost.System and Boost.Chrono configurable header only libs we need to include windows.h on some include files. To avoid the inclusion of this intrusive file, we decided sometime ago to include some files in detail/win that will present just the needed interfaces.
In my humble opinion cygwin is a wrapper of posix intefaces under windows OS. So, boost libraries shouldn't use Windows interfaces when working under cygwin.
We don't use cygwin for our Windows code. Can the POSIX support be installed and used without running in cygwin? If not, this is a non-starter. If so, then it would be another burden to use such Boost libraries, though perhaps it's simple enough to arrange. _____ Rob Stewart robert.stewart@sig.com Software Engineer, Core Software using std::disclaimer; Susquehanna International Group, LLP http://www.sig.com IMPORTANT: The information contained in this email and/or its attachments is confidential.
