error C2668: 'boost::next' : ambiguous call to overloaded function

[Roxana]

Hello, I want to build the ARtoolkit libary ARvrml from the source with Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 10. When compiling the project 'ARvrml' I get the above mentionel error message : error C2668: 'boost::next' : ambiguous call to overloaded function Since I compile a premade library, I don't know how to help the problem. I use ARToolkit 5.3.2, the code is accessible here: ​https://github.com/artoolkit/artoolkit5 Furthermore I use the boost library provided by OpenVRML 0.16.6 (windows).

Thanks for your help, Best Regards, Roxana

You need to describe:

• the function call where the ambiguity occurs
• the type of the argument (to the above function call)

The compiler version and the Boost version would be useful for us too.

That said, I guess that the error is caused by an unqualified call to next (i.e. without any some_namespace:: qualification before next). Explicitly qualifying the call would resolve the problem:

• if you intend to call boost::next, then qualify the call with boost::;
• if you intend to call std::next, then qualify the call with std::.
