Building boost b2 zlib options
by Michael Powell 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

Hello, I am building Boost and making progress. Thus far wondering what options to provide my B2. I added the zlib include path to the include="...;/path/to/zlib;...", and now seems to be wanting the LIB path? LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'z.lib' LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'zlib.lib' LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'zll.lib' LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'zdll.lib' Which option is that for B2? After that, it is on to finding bzip? fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'bzlib.h': No such file or directory Is there a source download similar to that of zlib? I think I'm pretty close but for a handful of obscurish third party dependencies. Thanks! Cheers, Michael Powell

Could guys help on OpenMP odeint 'for' statement error
by Renfan Luo 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

Hi All I have just started an OpenMP application example in VS2017 platform (/* Boost libs/numeric/odeint/examples/openmp/lorenz_ensemble_simple.cpp). When switch on Properties->C/C++->Language->Open MP Support-> Yes (/openmp), it has a build error Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error C3016 'i': index variable in OpenMP 'for' statement must have signed integral type OpenMP-test1 c:\users\renfanluo\source\repos\openmp-test1\openmp-test1\openmptest1.cpp 35 If When switch off Properties->C/C++->Language->Open MP Support-> Yes (/openmp) to No (/openmp), then the error goes off. However, "No" means OpenMP is switched off, which is not what I want. It is understood that in the for statement, the variables can be assigned with data type before, the errors associated with these user defined for statement will go off but the similar error shown below remain the same for boost header files. Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error C3016 'i': index variable in OpenMP 'for' statement must have signed integral type Test-OpenMP2 C:\boost_1_65_1\boost\numeric\odeint\external\openmp\openmp_range_algebra.hpp 72 Could you guys have any ideas of how to fix this problem? Best regards Renfan

[python::numpy] Access Violation when initializing numpy
by Christian Henning 18 Nov '17

18 Nov '17

Hi all, On Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2017 I', trying to run the following code in x64 debug configuration: #include <iostream> #include <boost/python.hpp> #include <boost/python/numpy.hpp> namespace p = boost::python; namespace np = boost::python::numpy; int main() { Py_Initialize(); np::initialize(); p::tuple shape = p::make_tuple(3, 3); np::dtype dtype = np::dtype::get_builtin<float>(); np::ndarray a = np::zeros(shape, dtype); return 0; } In the line np::initialize(); I'm getting a Exception thrown at 0x0000000066E43B15 (python36.dll) in test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000025. occurred Inside boost::python::numpy::intialize() the exception is thrown when trying to execute the line: PyObject *numpy = PyImport_ImportModule("numpy.core.multiarray"); Does anyone know why that would happen or how to debug the issue further? I have installed all packages via pip and executed the python code as described in https://www.scipy.org/getting-started.html. Thanks ahead! Christian

[python] Linker error when initializing numpy
by Christian Henning 18 Nov '17

18 Nov '17

Hi all, I have the latest boost from the master branch and built everything including python. I can see that two python related libs were built: libboost_python3-vc141-mt-gd-x64-1_66.lib libboost_numpy3-vc141-mt-gd-x64-1_66.lib For compiling python I use vcpkg and it's generating python3_d.lib for debug and python3.lib for release. The cpp code I like to compile is: #include <iostream> #include <boost/python.hpp> #include <boost/python/numpy.hpp> namespace p = boost::python; namespace np = boost::python::numpy; int main() { Py_Initialize(); np::initialize(); return 0; } A few issues: 1) linker is looking for "boost_python3-vc141-mt-gd-x64-1_66.lib" but I got "libboost_python3-vc141-mt-gd-x64-1_66.lib" Please tell me how to fix that. For now I just copied the libboost* files and renamed them. 2) Linker error: "__declspec(dllimport) void __cdecl boost::python::numpy::initialize(bool)" How can I resolve that? Thanks, Christian

Are there any plans to release an official Boost package on Conan-Center? If not, any specific reason? It would really help Windows builds and facilitate enterprise adoption. Thank you & good day.

Weird compilation error when using boost::geometry
by 邓尧 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Hi, I have implemented my own "point" as specified by the point concept http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_59_0/libs/geometry/doc/html/geometry/refere… When I use it along with boost::geometry::model::polygon/multi_polygon, GCC refuses to compile, tested on GCC 4.9/5.2. What's even more weird is that CLANG 3.6 would happy accept my code. BTW, the Point implementation is part of a large project, it difficult to replace it with boost::geometry::model::point.

Could guys help me on a boost MPI link error
by Renfan Luo 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Hi All I have built boost binary library on my PC workstation in windows 10 using VS 2017 for boost 1.65.1 successfully for application of MPI in my project. I had a simple test for MPI which worked perfectly. So I moved to a further test using boost example "odeint-v2/examples/mpi/phase_chain.cpp", which is applied to solve ODE with MPI capacity. When I tried to build the project, it gives me an error Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error LNK1112 module machine type 'x86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64' MPI-test2 C:\Users\renfanluo\source\repos\MPI-test2\MPI-test2\libboost_mpi-vc141-mt-1_65_1.lib(environment.obj) 1 I googled, then I went to properties->Linker->Advanced->Target Machine, changed to "MachineX86 (/MACHINE:X86)", then rebuild the project, now the error changes to Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error LNK1112 module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'x86' MPI-test2 C:\Users\renfanluo\source\repos\MPI-test2\MPI-test2\x64\Release\MPItest2.obj 1 So this shows that simply changing the target machine setting in VS will not work. Could you guys give me some indications of how to fix this problem. Best regards Renfan

Boost.Chrono custom I/O
by Leo Cacciari 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Hi, I'm using boost.chrono in a project and I need some non-standard input-output. First of all, I need to print days as days. Consider the following code namespace testing { typedef boost::chrono::duration<long double,boost::ratio<86400>> day; } int main(int argc,char *argv[]) { using namespace testing; day d(10.5); std::cout << "Value: " << d << std::endl; } This prints Value: 10.5 [86400/1]seconds Which is obviously right; but I'd rather have: Value 10.5 days Obviously, a solution is to define operator<<(ostream&,const & day), however I'd rather use the facet approach, which looks like easier to extend to parsing and more flexible (e.g. allowing to print the above value as "10.5 days" somewhere and as "10.5 d" elsewhere.) If I understand the documentation, I must define a subclass of boost::chrono::duration_units and then imbue the facet into the stream. Is this right? Where can I found some guidelines on how to do that? Thanks for the help lc -- Leo Cacciari Aliae nationes servitutem pati possunt. Populi Romani est propria libertas.

[Beast] Problems in getting started with Beast
by Sharklaser Lasershark 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hello! I'm migrating a project from libcurl to Beast. I'm trying to compile http_client_async.cpp <https://github.com/boostorg/beast/blob/develop/example/http/client/async/ht…>, but 110 errors come from "file_win32.ipp" and "file_win32.hpp", mostly missing declarations and members. I'm using Visual Studio 2017 (warning level 4). Here is what I have done: 1. Downloaded and set up boost 1.65.1 according to the "getting started" tutorial <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_65_1/more/getting_started/windows.html> - Built all binaries - Verified header only example and binary-dependent example 2. Downloaded beast/include/boost <https://github.com/boostorg/beast/tree/develop/include/boost> from GitHub and moved the folder and .hpp to - C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_65_1\boost 3. Started an empty project and pasted in the http_client_async.cpp <https://github.com/boostorg/beast/blob/develop/example/http/client/async/ht…> example. I have spent too many days trying to get this up and running. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Kind regards

help on how to build mpi library
by Renfan Luo 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

I am a new user of boost and have downloaded 1.65.1 and unzipped it to my C:\local\boost_1_65_1. Then chose the "MPI nearest neighbour coupled phase chain." Example, file "phase_chain.cpp" as my first test in VS2015, I have got a link error message "Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'libboost_mpi-vc141-mt-1_65_1.lib" . I have checked the boost root directory and sub-directories and did not this library file. Hope guys can suggest how I build mpi library and install it to windows.
