[Boost-users] [1.35.0] Boost.Serialization fails to build on Cygwin

From: Václav Haisman (v.haisman_at_[hidden])
Date: 2008-04-06 05:36:50

Hi,
the non-wchar_t variant of Boost.Serialization fails to link on Cygwin 
because codecvt_null<wchar_t> tries to use std::codecvt<wchar_t> as base but 
std::codecvt<wchar_t> doesn't seem to be present in Cygwin's libstdc++. The 
output of the failing build is attached.
