Can you try my suggestions above because I have it working with VC7.1 and would like to know why it is not working for you!
Hi Reece . I copy pasted the <libs/fixed_string/example/cstring.cpp> into VC7.1 project. I had (as usual) test project set to debug mode. In which case I get the error c:\boost\boost_1_33_0\boost\fixed_string\fixed_string.hpp(390): error C3861: 'buffer_': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup I just tried it in release mode and it works ok. debug settings are /D "WIN32" /D "_DEBUG" /D "_CONSOLE" /FD /EHsc /MTd /Za /Zc:wchar_t /Zc:forScope /GR /Fp".\Debug/Test.pch" /Fo".\Debug/" /Fd".\Debug/" /W3 /nologo /c /ZI /TP FWIW release settings ( works ) /D "WIN32" /D "NDEBUG" /D "_CONSOLE" /FD /EHsc /MT /Zc:wchar_t /Zc:forScope /GR /FAs /Fa".\Release/" /Fo".\Release/" /Fd".\Release/" /W3 /nologo /c /TP I'll look some more tonight . I prefer that to reading documentation . regards Andy little
