Building boost with Visual Studio 2013 (Express)

by

I’ve recently built Boost on MSVC12 (VS2013) using only a minor patch:

Subject: [PATCH] Fixing boost serialization build on MSVC2013

include fix (manual)
config_decltype_n3276_new.patch (from https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9410)

As you can see it combines the patch from https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9410 with some manual include fixes (they were trivial).

This is the effective patch:

Serialization works nicely even with the EPA Portable Archive implementation

Disclaimer This is with ‘regular’ Visual Studio. It will probably work with VS Express. (if you have the Windows SDK)
