Pls let me know how to overcome the same. All the redefinitions are the clashes with that of the MSVC compiler includes.
VC6 is a pre-standard compiler. As such, it has lots of quirks and templates are pretty much unusable on it. I strongly recommend either upgrading the compiler (there's free Express editions and reasonably cheap business and academic versions through BizSpark and DreamSpark), or using older Boost versions who accidentally care more about legacy toolchains. Strong words, but it's not feasible maintaining workarounds for legacy toolchains, not to mention actively fixing things for them. There's a huge thread on what to do with dysfunctional toolchains a few months ago. It's an amusing read. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
