Boost::Process compile issues, had to modify lib to get it to work

Question

So I downloaded the latest Boost::Process library and attempted to compile and I end up with this:

libs/boost-1.55.0/build/include/boost/process/operations.hpp:85:36: error: ‘filesystem_error’ is not a member of ‘boost::filesystem’

I did go ahead and check this file out, I removed that line (Along with the if statement ontop of it) and it compiles fine after the modification. The odd thing is that filesystem_error is in fact a member of boost::filesystem so I don't understand why it's complaining.

Is there any way to fix this without having to remove those lines? I really don't want to do a modification like that.

Here's the latest Boost::Process (I am using Boost 1.55.0 in case you wanted the version number).

Dont link to some "dubious" zip packages, include the code – Sebastian Hoffmann Feb 09 '14 at 11:46 — Sebastian Hoffmann, Feb 09 '14 at 11:46
Well right away doing `#include ` causes a compile error. – Zinglish Feb 09 '14 at 12:09 — Zinglish, Feb 09 '14 at 12:09

You need to fix it like I did yesterday^[1]:

In boost/process/operations.hpp change

#include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp>

into

#include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp> 
#include <boost/filesystem/convenience.hpp>

Or just

#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>

The reason appears to be that path.hpp no includes the header for the error class indirectly

^[1] okay, it was hidden in the 'amalgamate' on Coliru :)
