[asio-users] Asio 1.11.0 on Windows Phone 8.1

[Jan Deinhard]

Hi,

I’m trying to compile a project using Asio for Windows Phone 8.1. I tried to compile with the version that comes with Boost 1.57 and with the stand alone version 1.11.0. With both versions the compiler complains about missing file mswsock.h (C1083 no such file or directory). Obviously this file is not available for Windows Phone projects.

In the comments to the following blog article someone mentions a patch for Asio “available on the author’s site”. I’m not sure if it is related to my problem though.

Is there anything I can do to make Asio compile for Windows Phone? Am I missing a compiler switch or a preprocessor definition? Does the patch address the problem?

Hi,

I didn't tried this but probably you need to include another header, Winsock2.h
(msdn says socket API supported from winphone 8,
