I attach a patch that allows use of program_options with mingw compiler. There isn't support for utf-8 conversion - maybe it is possible to convert without use of wstring?
Hi Janusz, thanks for the patch! I planned to do something like that, but got swamped in other things. I have only one question: why do we need the following: - to_internal(detail::make_vector(argv+1, argv+argc))) + to_internal(detail::make_vector<charT, charT**>(argv+1, argv+argc))) Is it a bug in mingw's gcc? As for converting from/to utf8 without wstring, I guess it's possible, but outside program_options. If wchar_t is not really supported, then: 1. You can't use wide parsers 2. You can't pass wchar_t to program_options So, essentially, it's only possible to use some external wchar_t -> utf-8 converter and pass the resulting 8-bit string to program_options. Thanks, Volodya
