[asio-users] Comp crash, now I forget how to reinstall ASIO

[Jim Sager]

Hello,

I have some cool C/C++ code for a server for a 3d video fighter game, and a Flash(AS3) Server.
The problem is I can't work on this code anymore since ASIO is no longer installed on my computer

I downloaded ASIO 1.4.8 and Boost 1.4.8

I put boost in c:/boost
I put asio in c:/asio

I went into asio and did ./configure in MSYS for MINGW:

I got: Can't find boost headers. Please check the location of the boost
distribution and rerun configure using the --with-boost=DIR option.

I tried: ./configure --with-boost=c:/boost

I got the same message: Can't find boost headers. Please check the location of the boost
distribution and rerun configure using the --with-boost=DIR option.

Is there any help for a guy who can code with ASIO, but doesn't understand how to compile the thing anymore?

,Jim

Did you mean boost 1.48.0? It already includes asio. I'd advise updating your code to use the Boost version. Some namespace aliases might help you do this with minimal changes.

As it's been ages since I've done anything with it on mingw, I'm not of much use on that end.

I have "boost 1.48.0 with asio" and "asio 1.48 without boost".  I do not know how to build asio.


This page: http://www.boost.org/doc/display_build.php/boost-build/boost-build/doc/html/bbv2/installation.html
Says to get boost.build from the official website.

However on the Download, there is no bootstrap.bat available.
I tried the Nightly Build, and it is there, but gives me the following error:


C:\boost-build>bootstrap
Bootstrapping the build engine
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


Is there just a temporary mistake on the boost.build site maybe?

cl is the Microsoft Visual Studio compiler. If you want to build under MinGW, there must be some step you're missing, because it doesn't seem to recognize that's what you're trying to do. Refer to the boost users' list, for problems or questions building/obtaining/using boost for MinGW.

BTW, forget about the separate ASIO release. Just use the one that comes with boost, unless there's some reason you can't. Also, the
