[Boost-users] Re: 1_32 compiling xml_grammer

This has been brought up before several times.  The simplest way to get the
whole explanation along with a fix is to do a search on www.boost.org of the
mailing list archives using the following search term.

darwin xml_grammar.cpp

This has been fixed for boost 1.33 and is currently checked in on CVS.  The
permanent fix involved facturing the spirit XML grammar in smaller pieces so
that compiler doesn't choke on it.
