[Boost-users] Problem compiling with boost thread

Subject: [Boost-users] Problem compiling with boost thread

Hello,

I am trying to compile my application with Boost thread library (1.49.0) on
Ubuntu 11.10 (gcc 4.6.1).

However I see this error:

$(BOOST_PATH)/include/boost/thread/detail/config.hpp:29:24: fatal error:
platform.hpp: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

In the file $(BOOST_PATH)/include/boost/thread/detail/config.hpp, the
platform.hpp is included as:

#include "platform.hpp"

If I change that to:

#include <boost/thread/detail/platform.hpp>

this error goes away.

However, there are a lot of places where headers are included using
relative path, thereby causing compilation errors.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks,
Raj
