boost threadpool - c++

Question

I'm trying to create a threadpool with the boost threadpool library, but on defining it I keep getting lots of error about template params being wrong.
I'm probably doing something fundamentally wrong, but I'm not seeing it?
//Threadpool
typedef boost::threadpool::thread_pool<
boost::threadpool::task_func,
boost::threadpool::fifo_scheduler<tsk>,
boost::threadpool::static_size<boost::threadpool::fifo_pool>,
boost::threadpool::resize_controller<boost::threadpool::fifo_pool>,
boost::threadpool::wait_for_active_tasks<boost::threadpool::fifo_pool>
> pool;

According to your comment, tsk is a variable. You can't pass runtime expressions (such as a variable) as template parameters. Templates are entirely compile-time.
For this specific problem, you just need to do this:
typedef boost::threadpool::thread_pool<> pool;
void taskfunc();
// later on...
pool my_pool;
my_pool.schedule(&taskfunc);
boost::threadpool::task_func is just a boost::function0<void> — any 0-arg void function pointer can convert to that type.
