Ah, I think the errors in the log reports are misleading, when building with Minw I see:

So this is a linker error in building the *narrow character* serialization library: there are several tests in Date-time and elsewhere that are then also failing because of this.
This seems to be fixed by the following patch: $ svn diff boost/arch* libs/serial*/src Index: boost/archive/codecvt_null.hpp =================================================================== --- boost/archive/codecvt_null.hpp (revision 41302) +++ boost/archive/codecvt_null.hpp (working copy) @@ -56,6 +56,8 @@ {} }; +#ifndef BOOST_NO_STD_WSTREAMBUF + template<> class codecvt_null<wchar_t> : public std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, std::mbstate_t

(BTW we can't just move codecvt_null.cpp to the wide character library as that would break msvc dll builds :-( ) HTH, John.
