building date_time boost_1_32_0

[vbdevnet]

Hi 

I need to build date_time boost_1_32_0 for .NET 2003
Here is dos build command line and output:

stlport" -sBUILD="<stlport-iostream>on" -

Any suggestions ?

PS: All other libs (thread, regex, test etc) build Ok.

We have retested this recently and it works fine here.  You
are the second person to report this, so there is clearly
some mode in which this happens.  Are you certain the the
VC7.1 compiler is first in your path variable when building?
 The errors are indicative of what might happen if VC6 was
in the path instead of VC7.1.

Hi az_sw_dude, nice to meet you !

I moved forward, by using param 

<native-wchar_t>on 

so current output is:
(I suppose not appropriate lib versions linked here, but any 
comments will be helpfull)

I get this problem too. I have visual studio 6 installed but
I've double checked my path and there are no references to 6
at all, just 7.1.

Here's the command line I used:

Can't believe I didn't notice this in your first request,
but all of this trouble is related to STLPort somehow. 
Because STLPort has had limited wchar_t support in the past,
we macro out alot of code when we detect it.  If you look in
boost/date_time/compiler_config.hpp you will see the following:

// workaround for errors associated with output for date
classes 
// modifications and input streaming for time classes. 
// Compilers affected are:
// gcc295, msvc (neither with STLPort), any borland
// 
#if (((defined(__GNUC__) && (__GNUC__ < 3)) || \
      (defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER <= 1200)) ) && \
      !defined(_STLP_OWN_IOSTREAMS) ) || \
       defined(__BORLANDC__)
#define BOOST_DATE_TIME_INCLUDE_LIMITED_HEADERS
#endif

This should effectively block out all code associated with
operator<< and operator>> for dates and times leaving you
with only with to_string, from_string methods for I/O. 
Somehow this appears to not be consistent.  By setting the
<native-wchar_t>on you've somehow worked around the problem.
 Another option might be to change the macro above and see
if include 'full headers' would now work with VC7.1 and
STLPort.  Alternatively you might try to make sure that
BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE is set as well (see  locale_config.hpp)
-- that might be causing the inconsistency if that isn't set
properly (just a guess).

As for the link errors, it all seems wchar_t related again.
 I'm not sure what STLPort has for wchar_t support, but if
there is a way to make sure wchar_t it is enabled in your
STLPort build I would pursue that.

HTH,

Jeff

I've tried commenting out the section you mentioned:
#if (((defined(__GNUC__) && (__GNUC__ < 3)) || \
      (defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER <= 1200)) ) && \
      !defined(_STLP_OWN_IOSTREAMS) ) || \
       defined(__BORLANDC__)
#define BOOST_DATE_TIME_INCLUDE_LIMITED_HEADERS
#endif

But this seems to make no difference.

I also have the problem build date_time with vc-7_1-
stlport and msvc-stlport , I accept the default value of
<stlport-iostream>(document says default value is off).
I compiled the stlport 4.62 with default configure.
I am sure that the VC7.1 compiler are the first VC compiler
in my path because when install vc6, I deny the register
enviroment variable operation.
The library of filesystem, python, regex, singal,, thread
etc are all OK.

I can not compiled date_time and program_options in TOOLS
vc-7_1-stlport.
My platform is VC7.1 with stlport 4.62, cl versions 13.10.3077,
I compiled stlport 4.62 with default configure.
When compiling date_time and program_options there is
stlport\stdexcept(149) occur, that can be remove by
compiling the code with /GX in VC7.1.

I do not how to send the compile message to the author
because I can not visit the website www.boost.org

But I compile the above library with TOOLS vc-7_1 successly.

This report is now hopelessly out of date -- not sure
whether it was ever resolved.  Closing it out now...
