Question: compiling azure-storage-7.0.0

[yxiang92128]

Which version of boost library are you compiling with cpprestsdk-2.10.14 and azure-storage-7.0.0?
With GCC 5.1 and on SLES12SP3.

I am getting a compilation error with boost library version 1.68 and up. If compiling with 1.58, I would be ok but I am not sure if 1.58 is too old to be used with:

Any hints?

@yxiang92128 I just tried on SLES 12 and hit the same issue as you did.

The error log you posted is due to a bug from gcc, it should work if you upgrade gcc to a newer version(I tried gcc 6, it works).

Besides, cpprestsdk cannot build with boost >= 1.70 on SLES 12, SLES 15 and CentOS. So you may want to try boost 1.69.

@JinmingHu-MSFT
Staying with boost 1.58 is okay in your opinion? or 1.68 and later is a must?

We got your email on the Async design and currently gathering internal feedback btw.

Thanks,

Yang

@yxiang92128 azure-storage-cpp sdk doesn't depend on boost, cpprestsdk does. I didn't see any requirements for boost in cpprestsdk documents. So I'd like to think 1.58 is ok if it can build.

We're going to close this issue because of inactivity, feel free to reopen it if you have any further questions.

The comment above stating "azure-storage-cpp sdk doesn't depend on boost" is confusing. azure-storage-cpp-7.0.0/Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage/src/logging.cpp includes boost header files when compiling for Linux so doesn't that mean there is a dependency? There are a couple other azure-storage source files that also include boost header files.

I'll try again with the gcc 6 version I have available and see if I can get past this.

@mcox2016 Sorry, that was my mistake. azure-storage-cpp doesn't depend on boost on Windows, but it does on Linux.

Thanks!
