Cucumber CPP Build Error : is_initialized() is not a member of unit test

Question

I am trying to learn how to use Cucumber CPP. I have been initially following the steps here. But I ran into some errors with it. Currently, I am trying to follow the steps here. When I try to build Cucumber-CPP.sln in Visual Studio 2015, it gives me the below errors:

C:\Cucumber-CPP\tests\integration\drivers\BoostDriverTest.cpp(49): error C2039: 'is_initialized': is not a member of 'boost::unit_test::framework'
c:\Boost\boost/test/tree/test_unit.hpp(44): note: see declaration of 'boost::unit_test::framework'
C:\Cucumber-CPP\tests\integration\drivers\BoostDriverTest.cpp(49): error C3861: 'is_initialized': identifier not found
C:\Cucumber-CPP\tests\integration\drivers\BoostDriverTest.cpp(51): error C2039: 'is_initialized': is not a member of 'boost::unit_test::framework'
c:\Boost\boost/test/tree/test_unit.hpp(44): note: see declaration of 'boost::unit_test::framework'
C:\Cucumber-CPP\tests\integration\drivers\BoostDriverTest.cpp(51): error C3861: 'is_initialized': identifier not found

Because of these errors, I think its not building BoostCalculatorSteps.exe which is required for the next step in the tutorial. I can't find out what I am missing. Please give me your suggestions.

Answer 1

is_initialized() is deprecated in the latest Boost (v1.59, see here). The recommended Boost version for the current Cucumber v0.3 release is v1.55. Unfortunately, the latest CMake didn't detect Boost v1.55. When I tried one of the older versions of CMake, it didn't detect VS 2015. So, I couldn't progress further.
