In review the test compiler status tables things are looking very much better. There a number of pending issues:
...snip... 1) that the current directory while the test is being run is boost/libs/serialization/test and that the directory
2) boost/libs/serialization/example has it permissions set to permit file creation.
Upon reflection it seems that there is no reason to suppose these to be true.
I wonder if someone could check to see if this is the problem. Meanwhile I'll investigate what it would take to change the demos so that this is not a problem.
This is certainly not the case when he regression tests are run. The working directory is actually BOOST_ROOT/status for all the tests -- so this is likely the issue. Let me know when you have a fix and I will rerun for you...
b) in several cases it seems that there is a build configuration issue as it relates to multi-threading libraries. This might be an issue with intel 8.0, and gcc 3.4.1 builds.
c) I don't think that gcc 2.95 can be used with the serialization library. The error messages seem to indicate this gcc doesn't have templated streams and the serialization library requires them. Perhaps some combination of gcc 2.95 - stlPort might work. I will exclude markup to skip the vanilla gcc 2.5 tests.
Seems reasonable -- 2.95 is an ancient compiler. I see no reason for you to support it. Jeff
