I've recently upgraded my compiler from gcc-4.2 to gcc-4.3 and found that boost compilation is failing with an error saying undefined symbol CHAR_BIT. I've gone thru mailing list and found out this is fixed in cvs version (which is upcoming boost-1.35) Now my question is When is boost-1.35 expected? Surya

I've gone thru mailing list and found out this is fixed in cvs version (which is upcoming boost-1.35) < Boost 1.35 is close (release candidate 1 has just been released) However it does NOT support gcc-4.3 though the latest subversion trunk may well include more v4.3 fixes than the release. In fact there are a few known issues. gcc v4.3 was released too late in the boost release cycle for changes to be incorporated. Paul

Hi, Thanks for the Info. Surya
gcc v4.3 was released too late in the boost release cycle for changes to be incorporated.
well, prereleases of gcc-4.3 have been available for quite some time, including the 'porting-to' document ... for one project of mine, i am maintaining a git mirror of the boost svn, including some patches to compile the boost trunk with gcc-4.3 ... at least the parts, that are important for my application ... git://tim.klingt.org/boost.git http://tim.klingt.org/git?p=boost.git;a=summary best, tim -- tim@klingt.org http://tim.klingt.org I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion Jack Kerouac

Tim, Can I find these patches within boost trunk as well? (or as patches against issues in Trac?) git looks great but I'm reluctant to clutter my brain with another revision control system (getting old :) ) Thanks for doing this and hope that the wider Boost community can benefit from your work! Paul

i've submitted some of the patches to the boost trac some time ago, they haven't been applied to the trunk, though ...

if you don't want to install git, you can extract the patches via the web interface ... besides, using git makes life much easier ;) cheers, tim -- tim@klingt.org http://tim.klingt.org Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing. William S. Burroughs
