shared_ptr in std::tr1

Question

I am working on a platform with a gcc compiler however boost cannot compile on it.

I am wondering what is the proper way to include the shared_ptr in std:tr1 on gcc? the file i looked in said not to include it directly, from what i can tell no other file includes it either :|

Answer 1

Boost itself has the answer.

Answer 2

In G++ 4.3,

#include <tr1/memory>

should do the trick. You'll find shared_ptr at std::tr1::shared_ptr.

Answer 3

Boost can not compile on it? Most of the boost library doesn't need to be compiled to be used, and I guess shared_ptr doesn't either.
