[program_options] [msvc 2010] 1.34.1: Error when compiling
Hello, I got hands on the Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 and had to rebuild the 1.34.1 version of boost libraries I use in my project with the new VC 10 compiler. Thread, Test, IOStreams, Filesystem built fine, but program_options failed. Let me first clarify why I do need 1.34.1: This is the version that is most available on Linux servers (including the one I develop for), so I need this version on my development box to ensure source code compatibility, even though this version does not officially support even VC 9 (which however builds it fine and I happily use it). Below I list the errors that happened with the VC 10 compiler. I aggregated them to 3 issues. For multiple occurences of issue 1., I only copy/paste the full output for the first occurence. I would welcome if someone could tell me if these are the new compiler's fault, or not. If they are, I plan to report them on MS Connect so that they can hopefully get fixed before next Beta (or at least before the RTM). 1.

No idea; there are no changes in that file that might have fixed anything like that. - Volodya
Hello Volodya,
1. C2668: 'boost::bind' : ambiguous call to overloaded function
It turned out this one not only fixes 1., but contains pointers for issues 2. and 3. as well: 2. - I had to #include <iterator>, and then also explicitly quality bind to boost::bind on the same line. Problem solved. 3. - It's a bug with a MS Connect report linked there. Problem "solved" :-) Thank you! Boris

Thanks Richard, I looked at your report again and saw a suggested change to map header there and applied it to my VC10 installation (I version the headers in git to be safe) and now I have a program_options dll! Cheers, Boris
