Hi,

I’m having an Issue when trying to register a windows POINT type.

I’m registering the Point structure from windef.h as follows:

BOOST_GEOMETRY_REGISTER_POINT_2D(POINT, LONG, boost::geometry::cs::cartesian, x, y);

I’m getting the following in my build log:

     1>c:\work\pantheon studios\o2\disesupport\supportfunctions.cpp(37): error C2870: 'boost' : a namespace definition must appear either at file scope or immediately within another namespace definition

I’d rather not have to define my own point structure if at all possible!

Any help appreciated to solve this.

Cheers

Sean.
