All I wanted was a simple web server in C++ for both windows and Linux... well not that easy as I thought.
I wasn't able to find solution for get_io_service() which was changed after boost 1.70 release. I am trying to get work this project: https://github.com/eidheim/Simple-Web-Server
I did install boost 1.75, compiled b2 libraries. Linked headers and libraries with VS project, but then It still couldn't find some libs, so I had to use Visual studio NuGet manager to install boost-vc142 with version 1.71.
std::unique_ptr<socket_type> socket;
... some function ...
timer = std::unique_ptr<asio::steady_timer>(new asio::steady_timer(socket->get_io_service()));
On the last line I have 2 errors. One with missing constructor, second with get_io_service() No member.
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error C2512 'boost::asio::basic_waitable_timer<std::chrono::steady_clock,boost::asio::wait_traits<Clock>,boost::asio::executor>::basic_waitable_timer': no appropriate default constructor available
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error C2039 'get_io_service': is not a member of 'boost::asio::basic_stream_socket<boost::asio::ip::tcp,boost::asio::executor>'
I also tried to go for 1.69 version, but then NuGet installer saying he couldnt find 1.69 version... so I am little trapped.
I know there is a lot of examples of webservers, but I want to take some solution and use it stead developing whole server. Requirements are: listening to the specific port, solving GETs from web http, providing WEB page files which I want to edit separably. If someone has some app I would be very much appreciate it.
