I'm trying to compile this simple example https://github.com/zaphoyd/websocketpp/blob/master/examples/echo_server/echo_server.cpp from the developer github, but I'm getting strange errors outside the code.
I have also tried turning on the /Za option as shown in this post: VC++ 2012 and Boost incompatibility - `throw()` specifications in library headers but it throws a different error, saying "Threading support unavaliable: it has been explicitly disabled with BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS"
Does someone know how to fix this? thanks!
The errors:
I'm using Visual Studio 2015 in Windows10 x64,

Defining _WEBSOCKETPP_NOEXCEPT_ and _WEBSOCKETPP_CPP11_CHRONO_ did the trick for me :)
