I am trying to build boost using the win32 port of pthreads.
Is that a supported configuration? Hmm, I see some (rather discouraging) comments about it in the Jamfile, but I don't think we've tested that arrangement for many releases. Not surprising you're having trouble.
The command I use is:
bjam -STOOLS=vc-7_1 -sPTW32_DIR="where-i-put-win32-pthreads" -sPTW32_LIB="pthreadVC.lib" stage
The error I get is:
LINK : warning LNK4001: no object files specified; libraries used LINK : warning LNK4068: /MACHINE not specified; defaulting to X86 LINK : fatal error LNK1561: entry point must be defined
Would be nice of Mico$oft said ***which*** entrypoint is missing. Without that little snippet of information I can only guess....
The log shows the linker command line used:
CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\bin\VCVARS32.BAT" >nul "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\bin\link" /nologo /INCREMENTAL:NO /LIBPATH:e:\work\overnight\win_extern\lib" /DEBUG /DLL /subsystem:console /out:"..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\regex\build\boost_regex.dll\vc-7_1\debug\t hreading-multi\ boost_regex-vc71-mt-gd-1_33_1.dll" /IMPLIB:"..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\regex\build\boost_regex.dll\vc-7_1\debu g\threading-multi\ boost_regex-vc71-mt-gd-1_33_1.lib" @"..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\regex\build\boost_regex.dll\vc-7_1\debug\threa ding-multi\ boost_regex-vc71-mt-gd-1_33_1.CMD"
Well, that's interesting; I can think of no reason that the pthreadwin32 options shouldn't affect anything about the build of the Regex library. Do you get the same results if you leave out the -sPTW32_XXX options?
The CMD file just contains a list of the object files.
Also interesting; the linker warning claims there were no object files specified.
Any ideas please?
I'm afraid I have no idea. I would probably start by whittling down the command line issued by bjam until you get sometihng that seems to be more-or-less correct, so you can identify what the problem is. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
