I have compiled the boost binaries correctly and followed all of the instructions, but I am getting a lot of errors, and I don't know why!
Here is my 'include' setup:
This is the code I used to test boost:
#include <boost/asio.hpp> // include boost
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
using namespace boost::asio; // save tons of typing
// These are the values our port needs to connect
#ifdef _WIN32
// windows uses com ports, this depends on what com port your cable is plugged in to.
const char *PORT = "COM4";
#else
// *nix com ports
const char *PORT = "dev/ttyS3";
#endif
// Note: all the following except BAUD are the exact same as the default values
// what baud rate do we communicate at
serial_port_base::baud_rate BAUD(9600);
// how big is each "packet" of data (default is 8 bits)
serial_port_base::character_size CSIZE(8);
// what flow control is used (default is none)
serial_port_base::flow_control FLOW(serial_port_base::flow_control::none);
// what parity is used (default is none)
serial_port_base::parity PARITY(serial_port_base::parity::none);
// how many stop bits are used (default is one)
serial_port_base::stop_bits STOP(serial_port_base::stop_bits::one);
int main()
{
// create the I/O service that talks to the serial device
io_service io;
// create the serial device, note it takes the io service and the port name
serial_port port(io, PORT);
// go through and set all the options as we need them
// all of them are listed, but the default values work for most cases
port.set_option(BAUD);
port.set_option(CSIZE);
port.set_option(FLOW);
port.set_option(PARITY);
port.set_option(STOP);
// buffer to store commands
// this device reads 8 bits, meaning an unsigned char, as instructions
// varies with the device, check the manual first
unsigned char command[1] = { 0 };
// read in user value to be sent to device
int input;
cin >> input;
// Simple loop, since the only good values are [0,255]
// break when a negative number is entered.
// The cast will convert too big numbers into range.
while (input >= 0)
{
// convert our read in number into the target data type
command[0] = static_cast<unsigned char>(input);
// this is the command that sends the actual bits over the wire
// note it takes a stream and a asio::buffer
// the stream is our serial_port
// the buffer is constructed using our command buffer and
// the number of instructions to send
write(port, buffer(command, 1));
// read in the next input value
cin >> input;
}
// all done sending commands
return 0;
}
My errors (I can't give any info because I don't know what the mean or what causes them):

From the Boost 1.55 release notes:
Note that VC++ 12 isn't fully supported, and even if Boost does compile doesn't necessarily mean that it won't have runtime bugs (which means, sadly, you'll have to make work-arounds for them). If you ever find more bugs in Boost, be sure to report it to them.
