RE: [Boost-users] building boost on vc7.1 with stlport

Just to test that I compiled against stlport I took it out of the include path and I got this: stlport_test fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_regex-vc71-mt-1_31.lib' So it is built against stlport. About boost not being built against stlport because of a wrong STLPORT_PATH variable, that isn't possible as it is checked at build-time by bjam. The only other thing I can mention is that I also applied the boost-1.31.0-regex-patch-20040503.zip patch... Seeing as noone can fix this, can someone tell me of another regex package besides microsoft's atl? I'm looking for something more perl-like... ---------------------------------- Peace and love, Tweety mitea@sympatico.ca - tweety_04_01@users.sourceforge.net YahooID: tweety_04_01

Hmm... In all the tests I ran I think I forgot to remove that library (I was forcefully adding it for some reason). Now I'm exactly where I was at the beginning: when I compile my program I get these 2 linker errors:

Then I'm stuck 'cos it works for me, I'm attaching a small project that you should be able to build OK, if the libraries were correctly built.

Note: In debug mode you must select one of the multithreaded debug runtimes and define __STL_DEBUG, but you'll get a compile time error if you don't do that anyway. You can also define BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC to find out which lib file is being linked against. But my guess is that the lib's you built were not built against STLPort (incorrect STLPORT_PATH).
