Re: [Boost-users] WinSock.h has already been included

Here are the boost header files I include in my application:

I guess I am then using the boost date/time. I am not sure I understand what boost macros I need to define and so far I have defined none.

Isn't there another way to fix this issue, rather than hacking the boost files?

Add a #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN or #include <winsock2.h> before including all boost headers. #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN // #include <winsock2.h> // or this #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> #include <boost/asio.hpp> #include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>
