Replacing native VS 2010 (VC10) tr1 libraries with Boost.TR1

I have been using VS 2005 (VC8) with Boost.TR1 in the std::tr1 namespace by setting the Include Directories of VS to prioritize the boost tr1 headers as described here.

Now I am moving over to VS 2010 (VC10) and I seem to be getting compilation errors using the same include method.

The Include Directories are set to:

  1. [boost-root]\boost\tr1\tr1
  2. [boost-root]
  3. VC standard include directories

Sample code:

#include <functional>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
 std::cout << std::tr1::bind(std::minus<int>(), 5, std::tr1::placeholders::_1)(5)
  << std::endl;

 return 0;
}

Build output:

It seems like it is using VC10's tr1 headers instead of boost. What is the correct method to get VS to use Boost.TR1 as a replacement?

+2  A: 

Try defining _HAS_CPP0X=0 in the project's set of defines - that's supposed to disable VC10's TR1 support.

@Tobias: I don't think so - I'd imagine that the macro wouldn't affect actual language support features, only exclude things from headers. But I can't claim to have experience with using the macro, so testing of this suggestion would certainly be in order. As far as I know, this isn't a documented 'configuration setting' by MS - right now it's just a bit of lore from the headers and various C++ forums.

It seems to work. Thanks.
