[program_options] Old Dinkumware STL compilation
Hi, I'm trying to get some of Boost libraries compiled for Windows ia64 and x86_64. The build environment is rather strange: good compiler + bad old STL (Dinkumware). I cannot change it - this is what Microsoft ships with Platform SDK for those platforms. Ultimate solution would be to migrate to VS2005, but not for now... I've got program_options compiled in this combination - this is what I need most of all right now. But I had to change the sources and tests for program_options a little bit - the patch is attached. Is it possible for the maintainer of program_options to review the changes proposed and include the fix if possible? Thanks. -- Alexei Alexandrov

Is there anything that would prevent you from grabbing STLport and use that instead of the old Dinkumware STL?

Our software project is rather big and moving it to a new STL requires a good justification. Also I'm not as sure that STLPort is well-tested on x86_64 and IPF. For now, I only need to get program_options working and the patch in question makes it. But somehow I can't get any reply from the program_options' maintainer (Vladimir Prus)... -- Alexei Alexandrov
