Title: Building Boost on Windows
Post by: sschechter on February 27, 2014, 03:17:55 pm

I'm having trouble building and properly linking Boost 1.54 for my Win 7 64 Visual Studio Express 2012 environment.  Apparently there's a bug in the coroutine library.  Theres a patch but I'm not sure if I applied it correctly, or if its my environment that is incorrect.  I keep getting errors when trying to build the Keyhotee solution that look like the following and its been driving me crazy:

Error   464   error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: static unsigned __int64 __cdecl boost::coroutines::detail::standard_stack_allocator::default_stacksize(void)" (?default_stacksize@standard_stack_allocator@detail@coroutines@boost@@SA_KXZ) referenced in function "public: __cdecl fc::context::context(void (__cdecl*)(__int64),class boost::coroutines::detail::standard_stack_allocator &,class fc::thread *)" (??0context@fc@@QEAA@P6AX_J@ZAEAVstandard_stack_allocator@detail@coroutines@boost@@PEAVthread@1@@Z)   C:\Users\Scott\Documents\GitHub\Build\Keyhotee\BitShares\bts_wallet\fc_debug.lib(thread.obj)   bts_server

If anyone has seen this before and could help out, it would be much appreciated.  If you're specific instructions help me get this solution compiled, I will send you 1 PTS.   If I can get it working tonight, you'll have it before the snapshot.  Thanks. -Scott

Ok I fixed all my previous linking errors.  It looks like I still need to do a static build of Qt to get Keyhotee compiled.  Every other project compiles except for bts_wallet, I get a few errors that look related to this one:

Error   4   error C2039: 'signal' : is not a member of 'fc'   C:\Users\Scott\Documents\GitHub\keyhotee\BitShares\bts_wallet\main.cpp   109   1   bts_wallet

Does anyone have any insight?
