mFAST project fails to build with Mingw-w64(ucrt64)

I am trying to compile mFAST library on my Windows 10 system.

I am using VS Code as IDE, and GCC(ucrt64) compiler from MSYS64 to build the library.

I have installed boost using pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-boost which installed all the required files in location C:\msys64\ucrt64\include\boost.

Then, in the build sub0directory, I run cmake using command cmake .. -G "Unix Makefiles" -DBOOST_ROOT="C:\msys64\ucrt64\include\boost". The output is:

The CXX compiler identification is GNU 13.2.0

After this step when I run make, I get following errors:

`D:/mFAST/src/mfast/decimal_ref.cpp:24:15: error: template-id 'hash_combine<boost::multiprecision::backends::cpp_dec_float<18>::enum_fpclass_type>' for

I have looked into it for a very long time and found that all the required boost files (which the compiler is not able to find) are available in the C:\msys64\ucrt64\include\boost directory.

On digging further, the line of error in file C:/msys64/ucrt64/include/boost/functional/hash.hpp:6 is #include <boost/container_hash/hash.hpp> which is present in the boost directory but somehow compiler is unable to find it.

I have come to the conclusion, which could be very wrong, that I am not able to set my boost root/installation correctly.

If anyone can help, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Solution

I was able to build mFAST using MSVC comiler, cmake with 'Visual Studio 16 2019' Generator to be specific.

I think mingw64 is not supported to build the mFAST project.

Built and installed the project successfully.

Thanks for all the ideas though.
