I've just tried building the Boost.Test library with the free VC 7.1 tools. I get this error:

All the other files compile fine, so I assume it's not misconfiguration, and that Boost.Test uses some header which is not included in free tools. Is it possible to fix that? I guess that I'm not the only one Linux user who would like to test code with free vc 7.1 and if Boost.Test fails to build that's not possible.
Wtypes.h is part of the Platform SDK and is a available as a separate download. The Platform SDK is provided as a part of the full VC 7.1. Chris
