posix_time.hpp and vc++6

[ildar <mukhametgaleev.ildar@…>]

Hi, I use visual c++ 6 SP5 and process pack and boost 1_34_1. When I try to compile :

#include "stdafx.h"

#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	return 0;
}

I get some errors:

Compiling... StdAfx.cpp Compiling... Boost_testq1.cpp d:\third\boost\include\boost-1_34_1\boost\date_time\time_parsing.hpp(59) : error C2899: typename cannot be used outside a template declaration

Thanks!

Is anyone here?

Your only chance is to try an older version of Boost. Even though support for vc6 wasn't officially dropped until 1.35.0, it was still spotty before then.
