[Uml-devel] umbrello compile problem on win32

[Ralf Habacker]

Hi all,

in the last time there was a boost dependency added to umbrello. Since 
that time umbrello could not be compiled on windows using Microsoft 
Visual C++ Compiler. The compiler log messages contains the following 
error messages:

[  8%] Building CXX object

Win developers added a related note in the kdesdk toplevel CMakeLists.txt 


# Both MSVC and SunPRO CC have a problem with position.h; we try to put a
# QChar into a spirit iterator, which, after a bunch of futzing, ends up in
# the STL string_ref templates, which use
#
#     union {
#        size_type _C_size;    // Number of actual data values stored
#        _CharT    _C_dummy;   // force the alignment of the first char
#     } _C_size;               // named to work around an HP aCC 3.30 bug
#
# and you can't have a class which requires an initializer in a union.
#

The question now is how this could be fixed ?
