Hi All,

I am in the process of trying to get boost task compiled and working with Boost 1.43.0. As far as I can tell it relies on boost fiber and boost context as well so I got them from the boost vault.

I am using:

*         boost.context-0.2.0

*         boost.fiber-0.5.1

*         boost.task-0.4.2

I have copied these into my boost 1.43.0 build area and have run bjam as normal:

Component configuration:

    - context                  : not building
    - date_time                : not building
    - fiber                    : building
    - filesystem               : not building
    - graph                    : not building
    - graph_parallel           : not building
    - iostreams                : not building
    - math                     : not building
    - mpi                      : not building
    - program_options          : not building
    - python                   : not building
    - random                   : not building
    - regex                    : not building
    - serialization            : not building
    - signals                  : not building
    - system                   : not building
    - task                     : not building
    - test                     : not building
    - thread                   : not building
    - wave                     : not building

Below is the first couple errors I get but all of the following errors are of the same type:

.\boost/fiber/strategy.hpp(123) : error C2492: 'boost::fibers::strategy::active_
fiber' : 'thread' data may not have dll interface
.\boost/fiber/strategy.hpp(123) : error C2492: 'protected: static boost::fibers:
:fiber * boost::fibers::strategy::active_fiber' : 'thread' data may not have dll
 Interface

This seems to have to do with the __declspec(thread) but I am not very familiar with that so I can't really do much debugging.

My build environment is:

Windows XP64
VisualStudio 2008

Thanks in advance for any help.
