I tried to compile your tests on Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 with gcc 4.5.2 and encountered the following issues:
- test.cpp: The include file stdafx.h doesn't exist. I think this is usually generated by Visual Studio and I'd guess that you don't need it. - test_containers.hpp: Your includes contain backslashes, and apparently gcc doesn't like them. AFAIK Visual C++ can handle forward slashes in #include, so you should just replace them.
Thank you for this testing, these errors are compiler specific. Since this is my first Boost project I do not know yet at which stage it is relevant to make a request for the help from an expert who could resolve portability issues. Also, I am wondering if Boost has a list of the most frequent portability problems, which can be used to prepare new version of code. regards, Vadim Stadnik
