I recently pushed something for boost.test on develop that is apparently breaking the builds on mingw: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/output/igazt anaga-develop-gcc-4-2c++03-boost-bin-v2-libs-test-test-version-uses- module-name-test-gcc-4-2c+-dbg-dbg-symbl-off.html [...] I thought that this would be enough for having the windows specific code, but apparently mingw disagrees with the error that some windows specific define is not there.

Is this an issue with the code, the SDK, the machine? I have no experience with mingw, but if we are able to include windows.h, then we have to have the defines there (the missing macro is there since Windows 2000).

original MinGW is missing that define (and many more) completely, it should be in wincon.h: https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/mingw-org-wsl/ci/5.1-trunk/tree/w32api/inclu...

MinGW-w64 has it.

In my experience, MinGW-W64 is the way forward. It is being maintained and enhanced. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal UK LA8 8AB +44 (0) 1539 561830
