ncurses.h and boost.asio problem

[Adrian Rapiteanu <adrian.rapiteanu@…>]

Hi, I got the latest boost library (1.66) and tried to compile my old project. The file that I have the errors has #include <ncurses.h> I get a bunch of errors related to timeout() call. To reproduce:

#include <boost/asio.hpp> #include <ncurses.h>

/boost_release_1_66/include/boost/asio/basic_socket_streambuf.hpp:586:7: error: ‘stdscr’ is not a type

int timeout() const

Looking to the history I see that it was a similar issue but was fixed, and now in the latest release this issue is back.

I also have this exact problem.

boost 1.66.0-1; ncurses 6.1-3
