Compile fails with the following error when attempting to make use of the boost_1_43_0 library on cygwin

(uname -a: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin, gcc --version: gcc (GCC) 3.4.4)

Note that I built the boost library on the cygwin console, and the boost include/, bin/ and lib/ for the

build are located there. The above error is strange as it states that I should use the -D__USE_W32_SOCKETS

option when I really want to use the cygwin socket library (posix).

 

 

 

And if I do use the -D__USE_W32_SOCKETS option, then I get the following error:

Would appreciate any feedback on how to resolve this problem. Thanks.
