Boost Compilation

[Travis]

I'm using the compare libraries for the first time (http://
www.boost.org/doc/html/string_algo/reference.html#header.boost.algorithm.string.compare.hpp).
I guess I'm not including the right thing because I can't get certain
functions to work.

This works....

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#include <boost/algorithm/string/compare.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace boost;

boost::is_equal IsEqual;

int main()
{
// inital output
string First;
string Second;

cout << "String 1: ";
cin >> First;
cout << "String 2: ";
cin >> Second;

string IsEqualResult = IsEqual(First,Second) ? "yes" : "no";

cout << "IsEqual = " << IsEqualResult << endl;

return 0;
}

But changing it to use boost::is_iequal, boost::is_less, etc. doesn't
seem to compile. I'm not sure what I'm missing from the documentation,
I think I'm including everything necessary.

"Doesn't seem"? Are you unsure? What "seems" to be the problem?
What messages do you get from your compiler? Why do I have to pull
it out of you?

BTW, do you know of the existence of Boost online forums? They are
right there, on their web site...

Thanks for the info. I won't bother clarifying the "seems". I'll move
the topic to a more useful forum. Thanks.
