"character conversion failed" error #16

Closed ilodor closed 8 years ago

ilodor commented 8 years ago

Calling any oat component in the terminal results in the message "Character conversion failed" and a failure of the component to start. Cmake does not return an actual version number but Oat installation was fresh of off github on 5/12 and everything compiled without warnings or errors. Based on a google search I believe this is a problem with boost program_option::store. The error appeared with Ubuntu 14.04.3 and boost version 1.59.0 but disappeared upon upgrading to boost 1.60.0.

Thanks for reporting this.

  1. The version number of any oat component can be found using oat <subcommand> --version
  2. Since this seems to be a problem with boost, I probably won't fix it unless the issue becomes more pervasive and can't be solved with a boost upgrade.
