[boost] [1.35.0] Threads - build failure using gcc on Win XP

From: Mat Marcus (mat-lists_at_[hidden])
Date: 2008-04-13 21:42:39

It seems that I am unable to build/use boost threads when compiling
with gcc-4.2.0 on windows. I get errors:

   libs\thread\src\win32\thread.cpp:147: error: 'heap_delete' is not a
member of 'boost::detail'

and other (see below). Can someone advise me as to how I can get
boost_thread to build under gcc-4.2.0/32-bit XP machine wth boost
1.35.0.

Thanks,
Mat
