compiler error output

I can concur the same observation when compiling with MinGW's g++7.2.0. Not ruling out operator error here, but I've been poking around for a couple of days not and haven't been able to resolve the issue.

Me too, when cross-compiling 'dcpomatic'. Almost identical output to above. Lots of mentions of std::promise.

My apologies for a late post to those in search of a resolution. I was able to get a proper compile. After digging more into the config header for asio (I can't recall at the moment the exact file, but no modifications were necessary), I found that if I defined BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_STD_FUTURE in the preprocessor, things compiled. The issue I think is the usual issue with mingw on Windows not having the std::thread/future/promise support as with MSVC or a Linux variety gcc/g++. I use the boost variety of these in most circumstances. I want to say (at least hope, although I'm not sure) that doing so will set asio to use the boost varieties of these as needed. I'll defer that to Mr. Kohlhoff.
