Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #330: Error in msvc in building inheritance.obj to build hello.pyd https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/330 <pre class="wiki">Error in msvc in building inheritance.obj to build hello.pyd Hello, I am trying to build the boost 1.31.0 sample extension hello.cpp. I can not compile the file inheritance.cpp because the two files containing some templates: adjacency_list.hpp and mem_fn.hpp can not compile. Does anyone have any solutions? Instead of Visual C++ 6.0 should I use a different compiler? Anyone have any success on any other compiler? Did anyone manage to build a hello.pyd?
