I've just tried building the program_options library, using GCC 3.4.1 on FreeBSD 4.8 and hit a couple of compilation errors. One error is caused by the platform, one by the compiler's stdlib.

Any chance we might convince you to run the whole test suite on the platform? I would be curious as to the results for the serialization library here.

Sure, but .. I'm not able to compile it yet - more patches will be coming shortly. The problems mostly stem from the fact that FreeBSD 4.x doesn't support std::wstring, std::wstreambuf etc. e.g. libs/serialization/src/basic_text_wiprimitive.cpp should test BOOST_NO_STD_WSTREAMBUF before using std::wistream The wchar.h header is present, but incomplete, so GCC on FreeBSD doesn't define the _GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T macro, disabling all wchar_t support in the C++ library. The FreeBSD box is at work, so I can't do any testing during the day because I have other things to do. I'll try to get some patches prepared, and run the tests if possible, later this evening. jon -- "An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do." - Dylan Thomas
