Hi, folks!

I've custom boost build in folder /opt/dps/libraries/boost_1_60_0.

And I'm building cpp-netlib with following commands:

mkdir build

cd build

BOOST_ROOT=/opt//dps/libraries/boost_1_60_0 cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/dps/libraries/cpp_netlib_0_12_0

make -j

make install

But when I try to compile my example tool:

#include <iostream>

#include <boost/network/protocol/http/client.hpp>

using namespace boost::network;

int main() {

std::string url = "ya.ru";

http::client client;

http::client::request request(url);

request << header("Connection", "close");

http::client::response response = client.get(request);

std::cout << body(response) << std::endl;

}

I've got a lot of errors similar to this error:

/opt/dps/libraries/cpp_netlib_0_12_0/include/boost/network/uri/builder.hpp:9:31: fatal error: asio/ip/address.hpp: No such file or directory

So I decided to replace "#include <asio/" by "#include <boost/asio" but then I've got a lot of more complex errors about "error: no match for call to ‘(boost::network::http::impl::http_async_connection<Tag, version_major, version_minor>::start(const request&," and "error: ‘boost::asio::detail::wrapped_handler<boost::asio::io_service::strand std::size_t)>’, is used but never defined [-fpermissive]".

What's correct way how I could install cpp-netlib and use with my application?

Thanks a lot!

Well. I read maillist carefully and switched to the Git version 8ca59eb5590cb7404c8689c9541481c42f7c71ce.

But I'm still have few issues. First of all, when I do "make install" following library is no installed correctly "include/network/uri/uri.hpp". I need to copy it manually into includes path.

And I could not build dynamic libraries for cpp-netlib and haven't idea how I could do it.
