The boost serialization library test suite uses Boost.Filesystem in order to build and run it's tests. Turns out that the tests under mngw fail to build with the following message: In file included from ..\libs\serialization\test\test_tools.hpp:10, from ..\libs\serialization\test\test_binary.cpp:24: ../boost/filesystem/operations.hpp:21:5: #error Configuration not supported: Boost.Filesystem V3 and later requires std::wstring support In file included from ../boost/filesystem/operations.hpp:24, So it seems that Boost.Filesystem requires support for wstring and mngw doesn't support it - so the serialization library tests can't run. Does anyone have any ideas for an expedient way to work around this? Robert Ramey
