As Chris indicated, the code that you quoted from the .i file earlier in 
the thread is definitely C++11 code, which VS2005 cannot compile, which 
in turn is probably why you're getting the errors.

Hence something you are including contains the wrong code.  Either you 
are including a C++11-only library somewhere, your include paths are 
wrong (and eg. including CRT code from the wrong version of VS), or 
you're defining preprocessor symbols that you shouldn't and hence 
confusing Boost's platform detection.

On that note, what do you have in the C++/Preprocessor/Preprocessor 
Definitions setting?  (Click on it and go to Edit, then copy both the 
top panel and the bottom Inherited Values panel.)

You need to turn the option off again after generating the .i file, just 
like the option to generate the .i file in the first place.

These sorts of errors suggest that you probably didn't turn off 
precompiled headers.  You need to do that when compiling a .i file, 
since it contains all the code inline instead of including the stdafx.h 
file.
