Adding the following define to your preprocessor definitions should take care of the problem: BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK This should probably be mentioned in the getting started documentation. I spent nearly a day on this recently. Thanks, Doug Beatty "kumar bhargav" <kumarbhargav@gma il.com> To Sent by: boost-users@lists.boost.org boost-users-bounc cc es@lists.boost.or g Subject [Boost-users] Linker error with boost_1_36_0 10/10/2008 10:44 AM Please respond to boost-users@lists .boost.org Hi, I built the thread library after downloading "boost_1_36_0.zip". After building the thread library from bjam, when I build the program in VS2008, I get following linker error:- Error 1 fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc90-mt-gd-1_36.lib' What I see in the generated library folder is that boost_thread-vc90-mt-gd-1_36.lib is generated, but the linker is looking for 'libboost_thread-vc90-mt-gd-1_36.lib'. I have already done the required changes in the project properties mentioned at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/more/getting_started/windows.html . Similar thing happening with Regex library also. The generated lib is boost_regex-vc90-gd-1_36.lib, but the linker is looking for libboost_regex-vc90-gd-1_36.lib. Is there any other settings change required or something else? Thanks, Bhargav. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users ----------------------------------------- This e-mail and any attachments are intended only for the individual or company to which it is addressed and may contain information which is privileged, confidential and prohibited from disclosure or unauthorized use under applicable law.
