Good question, i'm not sure if ii is included in the workspace. If it is never used/included by anyone it might be not. See this evening...

no, it isn't. And when i include it, i get the same error. From work i know this error, it happends also when you construct a static array which becomes to large ...

I discussed it earlier:

MSVC 2003 can't compile the new serialization stuff from boost that was just added to FO. It dies, giving fatal error C1204: "compiler limit : internal structure overflow". This is a known bug with 2003. There is apparently a hotfix from Microsoft, but they won't let you download it easily... I already emailed, but they just gave me a phone number. So, I might give them a call at some point to see about getting it, but it's a rather big roadblock for anyone who wants to compile using MSVC 2003.

Haven't gotten around to phoning yet.

That would be really nice, i don't want being forced using 2005, if that would even work...

This is not related to FreeOrion. Im trying to use GG to build an interface for my OpenGL application. I have downloaded and unzipped Freetpype, DevIL, Boost but I am unable to build the GiGi project on Microsoft Visual Studio .NET2003. Perhaps I have not built the Boost libraries correctly. Im getting a bunch of linkers errors, for example:

GiGi fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file libboost_signals-vc71-mt-1_33_1.lib'

When I built the boost libraries, it gave them these long names like "libboost_signals-vc71-mt-1_33_1.lib" but in the GiGi project, the library required was simply libboost_signals.lib ... Im not sure whether these are the same or two different libraries.

The MSVC project stuff for GG is not supported, and is probably not up-to-date. Use SCons instead to build GG. The directions for how to do so are in the GG docs in the distro, and on the GG online docs.
