Hello all,

I would like to use boost::serialize for one of my projects, using
Codewarrior 8.3 (going to CW 9 may or may not be in the picture), on Mac
OS X (10.3.x)

Anyway, I've been working on getting the unit tests for boost::serialize
up and running inside the Codewarrior IDE. I created a new project file
(C++, Mac OS Carbon, Console), included a serialize unit test, set the
paths correctly, included the files I thought I would need for
boost::test stuff, all that jazz.

The test that I'm trying out now, in the serialization test suite, is
test_binary.cpp. Trying to compile it gave me some immediate compiler
errors (which I fixed by #including some additional source files:
"binary_archive.hpp", "stdio.h" (tmpnam is in stdio.h in CW, and not
cstdio).

At the end I have just one error which I don't understand (both because
the error message is hard to parse, and I'm fairly new to the boost
libraries in general).

Here, for completeness, is the error message:

Error   : illegal use of abstract class

I don't, really, understand why there's an error here, as iserializer is
~ a non-abstract type (as far as I can see), but it looks like there's
plenty of template stuff going on, and there may be a clue in there.

Does anyone have any pointers, or ideas on how I can fix this error?

Thanks,
