Hi all, I recently pushed something for boost.test on develop that is apparently breaking the builds on mingw: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/output/igaztanaga-d... What I do in the code is this: ---------- #ifdef _WIN32 #include <Windows.h> #endif ---------- and then later ---------- #ifdef _WIN32 class setcolor { protected: void set_console_color(std::ostream& os, WORD *attributes = NULL) const { DWORD console_type; /// some additional windows specific code #endif ---------- I thought that this would be enough for having the windows specific code, but apparently mingw disagrees with the error that some windows specific define is not there. Is this an issue with the code, the SDK, the machine? I have no experience with mingw, but if we are able to include windows.h, then we have to have the defines there (the missing macro is there since Windows 2000). Thanks for the help, Raffi
