Hello, this is my firs try to build boost under windows vista using
mingw-3.4.5, so I'm totally newbie, and I'm getting several compiling
errors. The first one is this:

*gcc.link.dll
bin.v2\libs\serialization\build\gcc-mingw-3.4.5\release\threading-multi\boost_serialization-mgw34-mt-1_35.lib
Creating library file:
bin.v2\libs\serialization\build\gcc-mingw-3.4.5\release\threading-multi\boost_serialization-mgw34-mt-1_35.lib
bin.v2\libs\serialization\build\gcc-mingw-3.4.5\release\threading-multi\codecvt_null.o:codecvt_null.cpp:(.rdata$_ZTVN5boost7archive12codecvt_nullIwEE[vtable
for boost::archive::codecvt_null<wchar_t>]+0x14): undefined reference to
`std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, int>::do_unshift(int&, char*, char*, char*&)
const'

*After googling for a while, I found this discussion:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/34741 where removing the
line #47 from libs/serialization/build (this line's content is codecvt_null)
was proposed as a solution. It seems this didn't completely work since the
previous error disappeared, but I got a new one and I haven't been able to
find a possible solution. The error message is this:
*
gcc.compile.c++
bin.v2\libs\serialization\build\gcc-mingw-3.4.5\release\threading-multi\basic_text_wiprimitive.o
libs\serialization\src\basic_text_wiprimitive.cpp:14:2: #error "wide char
i/o not supported on this platform"

*Any help will be appreciated.
