Stalled file in boost serialize library

[kreuzerkrieg@…]

Looks like there is a stalled file in serialization library boost_serialization.shared_ptr_helper.cpp - cant find the declaration for classes mentioned in above cpp. It ruins serialization NuGet package when it tries to compile

I've found this bug report after finding that I couldn't build boost_serialization in my project, due to errors in shared_ptr_helper.cpp. My system is VS2013 (Update 4) on Windows 7 and I've got boost_serialization through NuGet.

After seeing this bug report, I've tested older versions of boost_serialization and found that version 1.55.0.10 builds fine, but versions 1.56 and greater don't.

I would need more specific information in order to address. "due to errors in shared_ptr_helper.cpp" - what errors exactly?

OK - shared_ptr_helper.cpp was obsolete and not used. I've deleted it

Thanks!
