boost.cgi first compile error

[raffos]

I have just installed boost and boost.cgi (fastcgi from http://cgi.sourceforge.net/). Boost compile without errors using a "header-only library" and "Boost Library Binary" but when I compile this dummy program to test boost.cgi:

#include <boost/cgi/cgi.hpp>

int main()
{
  // request req;
  // response resp;

  // resp<< "Hello there, Universe. "
  //     << "-- " << req.get["name"];

  // return commit(req, resp); // write the response
  return 0;
}

I get a very long list of errors:

c++ test.cpp -o test

I tried installing boost from ubuntu repository (1_40_0) and from boost site (1_46_0) but I got the same errors.

I think it's a problem of namespaces but I don't know what to do.

Thank you

First off, does your compile support boost::mpl? The metaprogramming library is very compiler intense and not all compiler versions support it.

[raffos]

When I try to install libboost-mpi-dev Iget this error:

libboost-mpi-dev:
Dipende: libboost-mpi1.40-dev but it is not installable

Perhaps I can try again installing the last version from Boost site (1_46_0). Now I using the Ubuntu version (1_40_0) with apt-get.

ps: is it the same, mpi and mpl?

I've just installed the last version from boost site. When it compile I have a lot of warning and I don't know whether it installs all libs . Now I have installed it as root (previously as user) in /opt/boost_1_46_0 and the libraries are in /opt/boost_1_46_0/stage/lib:

in /opt/boost_1_46_0/boost I moved in the cgi and cgi.hpp

and set BOOST_ROOT:

echo $BOOST_ROOT 
/opt/boost_1_46_0

the boost examples (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html) compile as root and as user but not the test.cpp program:

 c++ -I /opt/boost_1_46_0 test.cpp -o test

I have just tested it in a new and clean debian distribution with virtualbox.

I did:
- install build-essential libbz2-dev libghc6-zlib-dev with apt-get
- decompress boost_1_46_0.tar.gz in /opt as root

in /opt/boost_1_46_0:
- ./bootstrap.sh
- ./bjam --with-???? (for every library to look for errors)

next:
- decompress in another directory cgi-0.7.1.tar.gz and copied ./cgi-0.7.1/boost/cgi/ and ./cgi-0.7.1/boost/cgi.hpp
into /opt/boost_1_46_0/boost

and:
- BOOST_ROOT=/opt/boost_1_46_0/
- export BOOST_ROOT

- tested boost as in: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html

- tested cgi with this file:

/*
    #include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <iterator>
    #include <algorithm>
*/
#include <boost/cgi/cgi.hpp>

int main()
{
    /*
        using namespace boost::lambda;
        typedef std::istream_iterator<int> in;

        std::for_each( in(std::cin), in(), std::cout << (_1 * 3) << " " );
   */
    return 0;
}

compiling with: c++ -I /opt/boost_1_46_0 example.cpp -o example_text

I found this in ReadMe file:


Currently tested on

Ubuntu 8.04 desktop 32bit
Ubuntu 9.10 desktop 32bit

MSVC 2008 Windows XP
MSVC 2008 Windows 7

If you have the other version of Ubuntu / or the 64 bit's earlier/later than 8.04, you could have this problem.

Yes, perhaps the problem is this, I tested it with ubuntu 10.04 and debian 6 and they both are too recent.

I give up, I'll try something else.

Thank you
