I would like to be able to use the Boost.Test library for Windows Mobile 6
ARMV4I projects compiled by Visual Studio 2008.
I can successfully compile the Boost.Signals, Boost.Thread, Boost.System,
and Boost.Random libraries; but Boost.Test uses several functions that
aren't available under Windows Mobile even with STLPort 5.2.1. Specifically,
these are strerror() and getenv(). The actual compile errors I receive are:

/test/impl/cpp_main.ipp(38) : error C2039: 'getenv' : is not a member of
'`global namespace''
/test/impl/cpp_main.ipp(38) : error C2873: 'getenv' : symbol cannot be used
in a using-declaration
/test/impl/cpp_main.ipp(38) : error C2039: 'strerror' : is not a member of
'`global namespace''
/test/impl/cpp_main.ipp(38) : error C2873: 'strerror' : symbol cannot be
used in a using-declaration

/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp(1306) : error C2039: 'strerror' : is not a
member of 'stlpd_std'
/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp(1306) : error C3861: 'strerror': identifier
not found
/test/impl/cpp_main.ipp(106) : error C2039: 'getenv' : is not a member of
'stlp_std'
/test/impl/cpp_main.ipp(106) : error C3861: 'getenv': identifier not found

I have seen past postings by other users that have suggested they have
supplemented STLPort with these functions (particularly posts relating to
VeetoFTC), but I have yet to see an actual example of the code changes
necessary to do that.

Can anybody suggest the least intrusive way to add this functionality so
that I can compile the rest of Boost?

Thanks,
