Did you realize that they are extremely challenging exercises? Replacing" namespace gtl { ... }" by "namespace boost { namespace polygon { ... } }" is correct and sufficient to make the files compile with gcc compilers. (As you can guess, this got broken when the library was renamed from gtl to boost::polygon.) The challenging part is to make the examples compile with msvc-9, by introducing the correct workarounds in the code of the library itself. I had hoped that Steven Wantanabe would try to face this challenge, because it looks as if he was the one who helped fix the other msvc issues. So I counted this compile-failure as a test coverage issue of the unit-tests in my review. Regards, Thomas
