Attempting to build POCO on Windows when it was sitting in a path with spaces (e.g., C:\my source\poco-1.4.6p2\) failed. This would occur if you did the following from a VS command prompt: cd "C:\my source\poco-1.4.6p2" buildwin.cmd 110 The root cause was storing the output of the CD command in a local variable and then attempting to cd into that variable later without appropriately quoting it.
POCO C++ Libraries
POrtable COmponents C++ Libraries are:
- A collection of C++ class libraries, conceptually similar to the Java Class Library, the .NET Framework or Apple’s Cocoa.
- Focused on solutions to frequently-encountered practical problems.
- Focused on ‘internet-age’ network-centric applications.
- Written in efficient, modern, 100% ANSI/ISO Standard C++.
- Based on and complementing the C++ Standard Library/STL.
- Highly portable and available on many different platforms.
- Open Source, licensed under the Boost Software License.
In regards to Boost, in spite of some functional overlapping, POCO is best thought of as a Boost complement (rather than replacement). Side-by-side use of Boost and POCO is a very common occurence.
