[Boost-users] lexical_cast and wstring on VC 2003

Hello :

I would like to use lexical_cast to convert to/from std::wstring on vc
2003 but I'm failing.

These fail :

int foo = boost::lexical_cast< int >( std::wstring( L"1" ) );
std::string bar = boost::lexical_cast< std::string >( std::wstring( L"a" ) );
std::wstring fred = boost::lexical_cast< std::wstring >( std::string(
"Fred" ) );

Any hints would be greatly appreciated and kindly rewarded with good
programming karma.

Thanks in advance;
Steve a.
