[Boost-users] Compilation problem with BOOST::filesystem lib

Hello,

i try to compile the *.cpp files of boost::filesystem within the following
environment:

os:         Windows XP
compiler:   Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 (this is the free version of MS Visual
C++ V7.1)
boost:      Version 1.31.0

If BOOST_WINDOWS is defined, the file windows.h is included in the sources:
* exception.cpp
* operations_posix_windows.cpp.

Otherwise the file errno.h is included.

BOOST_WINDOWS is defined within the environment mentioned above, but the
compiler does not have a windows.h include file. Hence compilation fails.

OTOH, if BOOST_WINDOWS is "manually" undefined, the errno constant: ETXTBSY
is not defined in the file errno.h which comes with the Visual C++ Toolkit
2003.

Kind regards Peter
