We're working on getting that issue fixed as we speak. The next version, 0.3.2 (#19), should fix all these errors once it's merged. You can build the candidate branch now if you'd like.

In the meantime, there is a workaround described at #15 (comment), which can be used with the current 0.3.0 version in master and release.

We just pushed 0.3.2, which should resolve the current build issues. I'm going to close this issue. If you have further questions or problems, please feel free to reopen this issue or open a new one. Thanks for your feedback!

@ximinez hi, I still unable to build it.

From the path in that blurb, it looks like you're building with Boost version 1.71.0. I can confirm that the build fails with 1.71 on my end, too.

Can you try installing Boost 1.70 and building with that? If so, we'll know what to target in the next version.

[ximinez]

Woops! I missed something!

Before you try Boost 1.70, try deleting your .nih_c directory and rebuilding from scratch. I neglected that step the first time when I switched Boost versions. After I did that, the build worked perfectly.
