I've just tried building the Boost.Test library with the free VC 7.1 tools. I get this error: msvc.compile.c++ ..\..\.. \bin\libs\test\build\msvc-7.1\debug\link-static\execution_monitor.obj execution_monitor.cpp ..\..\..\libs\test\src\execution_monitor.cpp(52) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'wtypes.h': No such file or directory call "W:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\bin\vcvars32.bat"

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. TIA, Volodya
