[Bf-committers] Migrating Blender builds to Visual Studio 2010

[Jürgen Herrmann]

By the way Thomas,

I get a strange error when trying to compile OSL from scratch.
Multiple error C2874: using-declaration causes a multiple declaration of 'std::tr1::shared_ptr'

I just don't get the problem here :-(
It seems that boost memory.hpp causes this problem.

Do you have a tip on that?

Best regards

Jürgen
