I'm trying ASIO with CE myself and haven't yet succeeded, although I
believe it is possible.

The boost version of asio depends on boost.system, so if you use the
boost version of asio, you will have to build boost.system for CE. I
believe the non-boost version of asio, available on asio website, does
not depend on boost.system. I think one of its design goals was to be
header-only.

I did manage to get boost.system to build for CE, although I haven't
actually run anything with it yet.

This link:
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/VeecoFTC.html

contains modifications you can make to your user-config.jam. Those
require batch files which can be found here:

news://news.gmane.org:119/guqriq$30j$1@ger.gmane.org

I haven't actually tried that batch file yet, I made my own before I had
it.

See this thread:
news://news.gmane.org:119/guqs5s$44g$1@ger.gmane.org

for a little information on what is missing in CE.

For boost.system to build I had to add a stub strerror function:
inline
char * strerror (int errnum)
{
        return NULL;
}

to stlport/cstring, at about line 20. Of course, a real implementation
would be better!
