Build failing

[DanieleCalanna]

I'm trying to build using a different C++ Standard. After following the guide in your readme I'm getting this error:

I've also installed NASM from the official site (this step is not mentioned in the readme) and set the environment variables for boost like this

Can someone help me please?

Hey @DanieleCalanna, have you installed all the required Boost library components as we've detailed in the README.md? That is:

./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=system,chrono,thread
./b2

Hi @lugehorsam, thanks for the answer. I'm building on windows. The readme only states:

• boost 1.69 - must be installed in system and set path to BOOST_ROOT system variable. Used by cpprest library on Windows, Mac and Linux.

@DanieleCalanna okay, I would look at the Boost installation instructions for windows. They are analogous to other platforms:

https://valelab4.ucsf.edu/svn/3rdpartypublic/boost/more/getting_started/windows.html

For example, there is a bootstrap batch file that you need to run there. There may be a separate flag similar to what is shown in the Linux instructions for adding specific components of Boost.

I managed to run the bootstrap batch file and now it states I need Visual Studio 2017 and I'm currently running the 2019.

Thanks @DanieleCalanna - we are aware of the issue, and are reworking the build system entirely for this and will post an update in due time.

[DanieleCalanna]

I managed to build both boost and nakama-cpp to specify a different C++ standard. Thank you all.
