[boost] using graphviz with the BGL

From: Trevon Fuller (tfuller_at_[hidden])

Is there documentation anywhere that explains how to build and link graphviz
for MSVC .NET for use with the BOOST graph library?

I am trying to compile the example ospf-example.cpp from the BOOST graph
library in MSVC .NET. I am using BOOST 1.30.0. I built the graphviz library
using bjam with the vc7 toolset. I am getting a compile error:

c:\boost_1_30_0\boost\tuple\detail\tuple_basic_no_partial_spec.hpp(83):
error C2679: binary '=' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand
of type 'const
boost::detail::adj_list_gen<Graph,VertexListS,OutEdgeListS,DirectedS,VertexP
roperty,EdgeProperty,GraphProperty,EdgeListS>::config::edge_iterator' (or
there is no acceptable conversion)
        with
        [

Graph=boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS,boost::vecS,boost::directedS,boost::
no_property,boost::property<boost::edge_weight_t,int,boost::no_property>,boo
st::no_property,boost::listS>,
            VertexListS=boost::vecS,
            OutEdgeListS=boost::vecS,
            DirectedS=boost::directedS,
            VertexProperty=boost::no_property,

EdgeProperty=boost::property<boost::edge_weight_t,int,boost::no_property>,
            GraphProperty=boost::no_property,
            EdgeListS=boost::listS
        ]

I think this error is due to the fact that MSVC does not support partial
template specialization. Also, when I comment out all of the code except for
the first 3 lines of the main, I get the error :

dijkstra_link_state_routing error result returned from 'cl.exe'

("dijkstra_link_state_routing" is the name of the solution that contains the
file ospf-example.cpp).

Any suggestions anyone could offer would be appreciated. Below is the code
for ospf-example.cpp. It is the same as the code on the BOOST website.

Thanks,
Trevon Fuller
