Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #1825: thread.hpp injects windows.h and breaks user application.

Anthony Williams — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 21:26:11 GMT

This is due to the dependency on boost.datetime, which includes <windows.h>.

Boost.DateTime is fixed now, so this ticket might be fixed, too.

As of boost_1_37_0, the problem still exists : windows.h is included by 'thread.hpp' due to 'boost/date_time/microsec_time_clock.hpp'

The fix didn't make it into 1.37. It will be released in 1.38. It is now available in trunk and branches/release.

I have this problem, but I can build my application in debug configuration. However, when I switch to release, it doesn't build and gives me this error

error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'curr'	c:\libraries\boost\boost_1_46_1\boost\date_time\microsec_time_clock.hpp	99	1	SceneStateRecognition
error C2065: 'curr' : undeclared identifier	c:\libraries\boost\boost_1_46_1\boost\date_time\microsec_time_clock.hpp	99	1	SceneStateRecognition

I could not post the whole thing, but this is more or less what is coming out...

Does anyone know how to fix this?
