I would like to get a square peg in a round hole too! Like John Maddock already wrote you, Boost-1.47, released 11 July 2011, pre-dates VS2017, by almost 6 years [year with major upheaval in C++ standards and compiler development]. So there is no way to build a reliable Boost-1.47 with VS2017, released 7 March 2017. Maybe you are using a heavily modified [or certified] Boost and are therefor bound to that version [but then you should use a compiler that matched [and tested] that release (VS2010), because then the bugs (in Boost) will balance out the bugs in the compiler/libs], but otherwise, the best thing is to use the latest and the greatest. degski -- @realdegski https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2019/06/middleeast/saudi-teen-death-pena...
