This second one is a completely different library. This mailing list is about
the sourceforge/google-code/rasterbar libtorrent.

I'm pretty sure libtorrent builds with all of those versions of boost (for 1.46
you need to specify using boost.filesystem 2 though, since 3 is now the
default).

I would guess the errors are caused by something else. Could you post a few
samples of the errors you get? Are they link errors or compile errors?

Also, how are you building it? In your own project file? boost-build? makefiles
or CMake?

(boost-build is probably the most reliable way).

Even though I am quite certain libtorrent works with a variety of boost versions
(and probably openssl versions too), this is what I have on my windows build
machine right now, testing with.

boost 1.44.0, libtorrent/braches/RC_0_15 (<- this is the stable 0.15.x branch,
it might contain a few specific fixes for building with msvc-2010).

I mostly test with msvc-9 though, I'll give 10 a try. I'm pretty sure I've made
it build in 2010.

I should really cut 0.15.6 from that branch.
