[Boost-users] [Serialisation] Explicit instantiation of serialize when used in library

Hello all (but probably mostly Robert)

I have a class in a library which has a serialise function. It's defined
in the header but implemented in the cpp file.

However, I am getting an unresolved error, because when the library is
build there is no need to instantiate the serialise function, as its
only called by something using the library.

So, I have tried to explicitly instantiate the missing function in the
cpp file in the library, after the serialise implementation

    template class
LCPanel::serialize<boost::archive::xml_iarchive>(boost::archive::xml_iar
chive&, unsigned int)

However, this line gives an error

    Expected ')' before '&' token

I'm not sure where I am going wrong here as syntax appears correct (but
I am not sure of), any ideas?

James
