Well that's good.

I have got the code using SVN from boost-sandbox  (this looks a day out of date compared to
Sourceforge version but ...)

am compiling with these #includes directories

I:\boost-sandbox/type_erasure;I:\boost-trunk;

and am using libs/example/intro.cpp

The first glitch is

I:\boost-sandbox\type_erasure\libs\type_erasure\example\intro.cpp(35): error C2039: 'vector' : is
not a member of 'std'

so I added

#include<vector>

then I get

  intro.cpp
I:\boost-sandbox\type_erasure\libs\type_erasure\example\intro.cpp(54): error C2332: 'class' :
missing tag name
I:\boost-sandbox\type_erasure\libs\type_erasure\example\intro.cpp(54): error C2993: '' : illegal
type for non-type template parameter '<unnamed-tag>'
I:\boost-sandbox\type_erasure\libs\type_erasure\example\intro.cpp(54): error C2143: syntax error :
missing ',' before '...'
I:\boost-sandbox\type_erasure\libs\type_erasure\example\intro.cpp(55): error C4430: missing type
specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
I:\boost-sandbox\type_erasure\libs\type_erasure\example\intro.cpp(55): error C2143: syntax error :
missing ',' before '&'

What am I missing?
