Hi,
I am working on porting the boost libraries we depend on to winrt, most porting is rather straightforward (basically switch from win32 apis which are 20 years old to apis which are 15 years old :D ).
However I have hit a bit of a problem when compiling Boost.Log. Boost.Log depends on Boost.Asio which uses C++/CX to call some of the newer Store APIs (Windows::Networking and friends).
When I build I get these errors:
compile-c-c++ ..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\log\build\msvc-14.0\debug\log-api-winnt\threading-multi\windows-api-store\dump_ssse3.obj dump_ssse3.cpp ..\..\..\libs\log\src\dump_ssse3.cpp: fatal error C1107: could not find assembly 'platform.winmd': please specify the assembly search path using /AI or by setting the LIBPATH environment variable
dump_ssse3.cpp (as well as other dump*.cpp files) are not related to Boost.ASIO or networking in general. I don't think the error above is related to Boost.ASIO. That said, I'm quite far from modern Windows development currently and I don't understand the error. I have no idea what an assembly or platform.winmd in particular is. The code in dump_ssse3.cpp uses compiler intrinsics to generate SSSE3-optimized x86 code, so maybe there's some limitation about using the intrinsics.
