As a stopgap measure I created the bcbboost project in SourceForge to collect patches against Boost 1.33.1 that make it possible to use Boost with BCB 2006. Right now there's only the minimum necessary to build the libraries to the same level as BCB6. I kind of hope that some of those interested will rather join forces than repeat the same steps over and over each on their own.

Hi all, I am helping Niciola in his effort, and I have already compiled <libst/config/test/config_test.cpp>, by changing one line in <boost/config/user.hpp>, it now looks: #define BOOST_COMPILER_CONFIG <boost/config/compiler/borland_5_8_1_hpp> And the starting with an empty compiler configuration, I have been able to detect that the following defines are needed: BOOST_NO_FUNCTION_TEMPLATE_ORDERING BOOST_BCB_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION_BUG BOOST_NO_DEPENDENT_NESTED_DERIVATIONS BOOST_NO_IS_ABSTRACT BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS BOOST_NO_PRIVATE_IN_AGGREGATE BOOST_NO_SFINAE BOOST_FUNCTION_SCOPE_USING_DECLARATION_BREAKS_ADL BOOST_NO_USING_DECLARATION_OVERLOADS_FROM_TYEPNAME_BASE BOOST_NO_USING_TEMPLATE The first interesting result is that BDS2006 contains both a conforming and a non-conforming swprintf. The non-conforming one is located in <stdio.h>, and it is the reason for previous versions of BCB to #define BOOST_NO_SWPRINTF. But with the inclusion of dinkumware library, ther is a conforming swprintf in <wchar.h>. But to get it to wotk, you must include <wchar.h> before <stdio.h>, so I have been forced to change <libs/config/test/boost_no_swprintf.ipp> to change the inclusion order. So I feel I must submit this improvement to BOOST, just in case this header ordering is important to be taken into account for future releases. Best regards, Zara
