I have no idea actually. I'm trying to build the VRjuggler suite and it
specifies "requirements: boost" :)
No specifications in the documentation either (as far as I could find).
And since I'm not very keen on browsing
through all the source at the moment I'll just build as much as possible

Yup, sorry, my bad :)

First error:
  The indicated type is incomplete.
     std::basic_istream<charT>      m_is;              // stream for
parsing numbers.

boost/regex/v4/cpp_regex_traits.hpp, Line = 440

Included <istream> somewhere in the top...

Second error:
  The indicated enumeration value is out of "int" range.
      enum npos_type { npos = (size_type)-1 };

boost/test/utils/basic_cstring/basic_cstring.hpp, line 60

I just used the IBM workaround for now, but maybe the enum is there for
a reason?

Third error:
  #error directive:  "Compiler threading support is not turned on.
Please set
          the correct command line options for threading: -D_SGI_MP_SOURCE"
in boost/config/requires_threads.hpp, Line = 51

Matter of finding out where to set it. I'll go through some docs again I
guess.

Ok. I'll take a look at that then and see what I can figure out

Thanks
