 For anyone finding this issue, the above fix worked great for me.  The
 reason it fixes it is because the compiler is expecting a
 boost::thread::dummy() method for whatever reason and cannot find one.
 Adding this definition in satisfies the compiler so that it can continue.
 Obviously the method does nothing but it doesn't need to.
