boost's string algorithms aren't available for VC6 :-( a lot of other things are though... When in doubt about a library, I suggest you check the regression tests at the boost website, you'll see there if the library you're trying to use is available for a given compiler...

the best possible thing you can do for your C++ career is get a modern compiler. VC++6.0 ain't. I'm sure I'm gonna take flak for being so blunt, but the compiler is way out of date (it was released just _before_ the C++ standard was approved).

I recently downloaded a free C++ compiler from Microsoft, as a package called the "Visual C++ Toolkit 2003" - the compiler tells me that it is a "Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.10.3077 for 80x86". The compiler can be downloaded from http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/. Is this compiler compatible with the boost libraries in general (I have only tested it with rational.hpp (and operators.hpp), and it seems to work. -- Søren
Well that is the same compiler as VS.NET 2003, which comes under VC7.1. There are test results for different parts of the library at http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost-regression/cvs-head/ developer/summary.html Jason On 25 Ebr 2005, at 12:42, Søren Lassen wrote:

Yep, that's the one that comes with VS.NET 2003 - it works very nicely with Boost. I managed to persuade work to upgrade to that from VC6 for new projects - not only does it raise compiler errors less often, it also compiles code using Boost significantly faster, in my experience. Stuart Dootson

This is NOT the VC6 compiler. It is the compiler that comes with vs.net2003 and is one of the compilers I use when running the regression tests for boost.

Interesting. I downloaded this so I could have a MS compiler version for testing portability changes. However, I can not get it to work. I installed it according to the recommendations, set VC71_ROOT to the directory above the bin directory of the installation, but got errors that bin\vcvars32.bat was unrecognized batch file, so I copied that file from the "root" down into the "bin" directory, but still get the same errors. Funny, the compilations seem to try to execute, and it seems some work, but I get the batch file errors. Maybe the compiles work because I ran the batch file already. I also get linker errors looking for a library called msvcprtd.lib. Anyway, do you have any suggestions for how to get this config working? Thanks!

I don't, I actually have vs.net2003 which is the installation I use.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, Boost.StringAlgo is not supported for VC6. There are libraries in boost, that support this compiler, however, StringAlgo is not one of them. You need to upgrade you compiler to use it. I would recomend vc7.1 Regards, Pavol.

You really need to move to a more modern C++ compiler. Microsoft recently terminated all support for VC++ 6.0. Boost developers are loosing interest in supporting it. If cost is a concern, both the gcc compiler (via cygwin) and the Microsoft compiler (command line version) are available for free. --Beman
