Compiling Boost example projects with Cygwin + gcc

问题

While trying to compile the boost asio example project async_tcp_echo_server.cpp

I get errors like the following:

__MSABI_LONG was not declared in this file scope
BOOST_ASIO_NATIVE_ERROR(ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE)

__MSABI_LONG was not declared in this file scope
BOOST_ASIO_NATIVE_ERROR(ERROR_OPERATION ABORTED)

This is with Boost 1.55.0 and gcc version 4.8.3

boost was compiled with gcc and the following commands

./bootstrap.sh
./b2 cxxflags="-D__USE_W32_SOCKETS -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501
./b2 install

I attempted to compile the sample project with

gcc -std=C++11 -D__USE_W32_SOCKETS -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 -I C:\boost_1_55_0 C:\boost_1_55_0\boost\asio.hpp async_tcp_echo_server.cpp

回答1:

I know this is kind of old thread. I managed to fix it by reinstalling the boost lib via Cygwin setup_x86.exe. The version I installed is 1.57. And you don't have to put -D option in the command line. Hope this may help.

回答2:

1_57 version from cygwin setup doesn't help for me, it gives me fd_set errors.

This is what I tried to make the boost example code work:

1. add #define __MSABI_LONG(x) x at the top. - chilly, I know :)
2. add these flags to g++:-D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 -D__USE_W32_SOCKETS -std=c++11 -lboost_system -lws2_32

Voila!
