boost, reference to ‘int64_t’ is ambiguous #3483

Hi,

I am on trying to compile on debian wheezy amd64 using linux-libc-dev 3.2.51-1, libboost1.53-all-dev and gcc version 4.7.2 (Debian 4.7.2-5). The default version of boost on wheezy (1.49) doesn't implement the "sleep" function and never gets through the ./configure stage.

In 1.53, the data type int64_t does not seem to resolve correctly. There seem to be two different, incompatible attempts at defining symbol int64_t in:

• /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/include/stdint.h
• /usr/include/boost/cstdint.hpp

The confusion eventually leads to the following error message:

• rpcserver.cpp:629:77: error: ‘int64_t’ has not been declared

Any idea? Thanks.

The definition from stdint.h is the correct one. Stdint is a part of the standard library, boost shouldn't have influence on it.

I have the same problem on Gentoo (Little Blue) uclibc hardened - totally different build environment same error. 0.9-rc1 fails as does a github clone or download master. It complains about the type of integer type. I tried googling it and I end up in a world of pain with discussions about declaring it explicitly or using long long ..
