8331	Boost compatibility with Interix	Andrin Foster <akf@…>	No-Maintainer	"When including the boost libraries on a Windows XP SP3 machine via Interix v3.5 using gcc 3.4.6 I would receive a number of pre-compiler errors complaining that boost threads were ""unavailable on this platform"". I resolved this issue by including the following code prior to the first inclusion of a boost library:
    #ifdef ARCH_Interix    // an internal definition

    #  include <boost/config.hpp>

    #  define BOOST_HAS_THREADS

    #  define BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS

    #endif
There must be a more eloquent way of setting the thread definitions for Interix from within files such as /boost/thread/detail/platform.hpp, boost/thread/detail/config.hpp, or boost/config/select_platform_config.hpp. I'll leave that to the development teams prerogative.
In any case, making the boost libraries comparable with Interix should not be overly complex. Please let me know if I can provide more information. "	Feature Requests	closed	To Be Determined	preprocessor	Boost 1.52.0	Problem	fixed
