Re: [Boost-users] date_time | VC71 | dynamic link

Hi, boost autolinking uses special macros that are to be defined in project settings (link below for details). (http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html#auto-link). The simpliest way to link to dll is adding BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK to project setting for all configuration (visual studio I mean;) Sure the dlls should be on the path or in the same directory as the executable;)

No, it does not.

The library that you are referring to is the import library. I am using that already. My point is, it seems to need the import library AND the static library (during linking). That does not make sense. Please see my first message for the details.

You usually don't need to specify the boost lib, that is done automatically depending on your project settings.

For dynamic linking you also need to have a .lib file. But this time the .lib file only contains functions declaration, but no implementation. Those are in the DLL.

Does that help?
