OIC said the blind man.....solved. OK, so I thought that all that was required was "link=static", but I was neglecting "runtime-link=static". I suppose a "complete" build would've solved my problem too. carry on. On 2012-08-08 10:21, trevor@nurotek.com.au wrote:
Hi all,
I'm new to boost, and I'm trying to compile a windows console app statically so the end user doesn't need vcredist.
I've changed my code generation options to use /mt (static multithreaded) instead of dynamic multithreaded, but the linker cannot find any libs with libboost*-sgd*.lib (ie.any static boost libs), and they certainly don't exist on my computer. I've performed a --clean-all and recompiled boost using "b2 link=static", but the libs are still missing, even though the compile seems to work fine - and the generated libs are actually following the dynamic naming convention, not the static convention.
Is this some MSVC toolchain issue ? Is there another option I need to be using for this toolchain ?
thanks Trevor.
