Boost Asio errors, while building

[Messier82]

Hello! I'm trying to build Restbed on Windows 10 through Cygwin64 and all went okay, until I started to build the framework (make -j 5 install). Here's errors I've got:

And so on. There's a lot of errors like that. Need help! :D Thank you!

Restbed targets the native toolchain on each of the supported platforms. My suggestion would be to use Visual Studio and the instructions stated here #17.

I didn't want to open a new issue but I was wondering whether Restbed now supports Boost.ASIO or if it's still limited to standalone ASIO 1.12?

I'm looking for a library to replace cpprestsdk and am torn between Restbed and Restinio; the former looks better in general to me but we already depend on Boost for other things so Restinio might end up being a better option.
