Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #2906: boost 1.33.1: build of boost::program_options failed with msvc7.1 and stlport5.0

nikolay@… — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 08:00:29 GMT

Forgot to mention: I am using STLPort 5.0 with following user configs: #define _REENTRANT #define _STLP_OWN_IOSTREAMS 1

Please provide the complete error message you get with 1.38 -- I need to know the instantiation stack to fix this.

When I have updated boost::program_options library to latest release I got the same error: vc-C++ bin\boost\libs\program_options\build\boost_program_options.dll\vc-7_1-stlport\release\threading-multi\variables_map.obj variables_map.cpp D:/TMP\SDK\\STLport-5.0\stlport\stl\_tree.h(594) : error C2664: 'bool stlp_std::less<_Tp>::operator ()(const _Tp &,const _Tp &) const' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'stlp_std::map<_Key,_Tp>::value_type' to 'const stlp_std::string &'

with [

_Tp=stlp_std::string

] and [

_Key=stlp_std::string, _Tp=boost::program_options::variable_value

] Reason: cannot convert from 'stlp_std::map<_Key,_Tp>::value_type' to 'co

nst stlp_std::string' with [

_Key=stlp_std::string, _Tp=boost::program_options::variable_value

] No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous.

The really interesting thing that static library has been succesfully built. I can find declaration of the variables_map class in the dump of static library: 0152D2E public: thiscall boost::program_options::variables_map::variables_map(class boost::program_options::abstract_variables_map const *)

The error message you have posted still does not say where the code was instantiated. Are you sure you have posted *complete* error message -- from the very first line in the build log, till the very last? Please attach it to the issue, don't copy-paste.

I have downloaded complete boost 1.38.0 and tried to build it. I got the same error: only static libs has been created for the boost::program_options library. I have used following command to build the boost: D:\TMP\SDK\boost_1_38_0>tools\jam\src\bin.ntx86\bjam.exe --build-type=complete - -toolset=msvc stdlib=stlport stage

I think we can close this issue now. I have installed Stlport 5.0.3 and successfully built both boost 1.33.1 and 1.38.0 with msvc 7.1. So the problem was in stlport (5.0.0).
