thanks brian and aleksey....well i installed the
latest beta of visual studio 2005 instead of my mvc
6.0. It did get rid of the block scoping issues and
many other compiling issues i was facing. I had to
replace the apply_if with eval_if everywhere.

could understand the exact technicalities of that, but
read it from some post on the forum and just followed
it.....

now, i got different issues though....everything
compiles perfect but i get like a million linking
issues..........
the details are as follows:

do these link post sound familiar with something you
have seen before or they could be my code specific
which i will have to dig into.....

well, i am trying to make luabind and boost work with
someone elses code.....so i do not completely
understand 
it myself....
just trying to register a few classes from there thru
a hello world app and trying to work my way from
luabind
from there.....

any assitance over here will be appreciated....

also,
just to verify,
for linking what all .libs need to be listed in the
project options...
i have lua.lib, lua_debug.lib...

i have the paths for luabind and boost set up as per
the documentations...is there anything else
that needs to be done to get the environment
correct...just wondering if i am missing out on
any .libs to be listed in the project settings????

thanks and regards,
rohit

This shows me you are using VC6. While you "can" do
this, you are asking
for more pain than anyone should be forced to have.
(it is not very
compliant and has lots of template quirks. AND you get
pages (and pages
and pages and pages) of template warnings on valid
code (making
debugging compile time issues much more difficult)

My *strong* suggestion to you is you install at least
Visual Studio .net
2003 which comes with the vc++ 7.1 compiler.

If you cannot purchase this product, the command line
compiler is
available for free download from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/

Hope this helps

(been there, done that, got the tee-shirt :) )
