All the premade archives in the serialization library depend upon templated stream library and include dependency on locale. So out of the box its not going to work for you. If you really need it you might consider making your own ...my_local header which implements enough of the local interface to permit compiliation (your header wouldn't actually do anything - just dummy functions) or you might conssider making your own archive class.

Serialization does not work with WinCE, as <locale> is not present. Is there a work around or has it been fixed in a later release? I have rejoined this group after a few years and I am not if this issue has been addressed. Googling on Boost mailing lists drew a blank on this subject. Any pointers or help in this regard highly appreciated. Joe
