#9428 new Patches
Lib program_options build fail for mingw

Description
Library program_options (boost 1.55, same applies to earlier boost versions) does not build for mingw (4.6.2). Don't know if MinGW is fully supported by boost, but some libraries do seem to have adaptation for it. Solution seems straight-forward. File ...\libs\program_options\src\parsers.cpp:
| defined(COMO_VERSION) |
extern char environ; #else SMAL patch for MinGW #if defined(_WIN32) && defined(MINGW32) extern char environ; #endif
(SMAL is a soon-to-be released open-source sw)

quick & dirty fix for program_options
comment:2 by , 9 years ago
I ran into the same problem when trying to compile for c++0x, so I fixed this quick and dirty. However, did not have time to test as other libraries would not compile either and I had to move on. I though I'd share it anyway.
The proposed change does not work for building shared libraries, don't know if there is a way to solve that as well.
