The best is to modify the user-config.jam file:

using msvc : : : <cflags>-D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 <cxxflags>-D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 <compilerflags>-D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 ;

Hi,

I have tried to rebuild boost.filesystem with D_WIN32_WINNT set to 0x0400 (with cxxflags) but it seems that it (cxxflags) was ignored and filesystem libs was build as without any cxxflags option.

Command I run:

bjam cxxflags=-D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 --with-filesystem toolset=msvc

Are these flags (cflags, cxxflags) working?

thanks

Trigve

It would appear that #defining _WIN32_WINNT to 0x400 or less when
compiling the filesystem library should exclude that code (and some
related code with the same problem). I believe this can be done by
setting cxxflags to -D_WIN32_WINNT when building, but I haven't tried it
myself, and don't know much about the boost build system.

Unless this problem is fixed for 1.34.1, I'll be learning the details
myself in a few weeks, as it will otherwise block our upgrading.

Have you filed a bug report at svn.boost.org?
