I found the same thing, with the same setup. I managed to track it down to a problem in the file "boost_1_32_0/boost/program_options/detail/utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp" The "program_options" library incorrectly checks the "BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE" macro, when really, it should be checking the "BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE" macro (since the locale stuff is all that the file is interested in). I made the following one-symbol patch (attached), and the library now seems to compile and work with no problems. -Andrew. -- Andrew D.

Hi,

when I compile program_options using VC7.1 and STLport 4.6.2 I get the following errors:

<snip> ...found 672 targets... ...updating 14 targets... vc-C++

bin\boost\libs\program_options\build\libboost_program_options.lib\vc-7_1-stlport\release\threading-multi\utf8_codecvt_facet.obj

utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp

E:\work\CommonLibs\test\boost_1_32_0\boost_1_32_0\boost\program_options\detail\utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp(70)

: error C2873: 'codecvt' : symbol cannot be used in a using-declaration </snip>

when STLport is used, BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE is defined on my machine. and then the following code fails (from program_options\detail\utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp around line 70):

#elif defined(BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE) typedef std::mbstate_t mbstate_t; namespace std{ using ::codecvt; } // namespace std #endif

But STLport 4.6.2 puts codecvt correctly under std...

Would be great if this can be fixed for STLport users :-)

Regards

Ralf
