I spent half of the day today unsuccessfully trying to install cpp-netlib on Mac OS X (the goal is to implement asynchronous http requests in C++). When I do 'make' to build and run the tests, I have lots of "no matching constructor" errors coming from Boost. Having read this, I tried installing different versions of Boost (1.49, 1.50, 1.51), but that didn't help. So I'm at the point of thinking of alternatives to cpp-netlib. One possibility is to use Boost.Asio directly, but it would have been great to use something like cpp-netlib as it is much easier to use once it's installed. Any alternatives to cpp-netlib which come to mind? Or any other way I should try to make cpp-netlib pass the tests? Thanks in advance!

  • Boost::Asio isn't that hard once you get used to it, give it a go. Read the examples, not only the ones that you are interested in directly, helped me much. – jt234 Oct 24 '12 at 08:17
  • @jt234 cpp-netlib is at a higher level than Boost ASIO, and probably _uses_ ASIO as it's goal is to be a part of Boost. – Some programmer dude Oct 24 '12 at 08:33
  • Arman, could you please post an [SSCCE](http://sscce.org/) together with the errors, then maybe we can help you with those instead? Otherwise this question will probably be closed. – Some programmer dude Oct 24 '12 at 08:35
  • @JoachimPileborg I actually decided to stick with cpp-netlib. Thanks for your help! – Arman Oct 25 '12 at 00:25
