Hi, I have a newbie question here. I'm trying to use the Boost regex in an application, but I keep getting strange errors. How can I compile the regex code into a DLL or LIB that I can link to from my app -- I'm looking for the path of least resistance here. The version is 1.33.1, the platform is VC++ 7.1. The most recent error is the following: xp_regex_match error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "private: class boost::basic_regex<char,struct boost::regex_traits<char,class boost::w32_regex_traits<char> > > & __thiscall boost::basic_regex<char,struct boost::regex_traits<char,class boost::w32_regex_traits<char> > >::do_assign(char const *,char const *,unsigned int)" (?do_assign@?$basic_regex@DU?$regex_traits@DV?$w32_regex_traits@D@boost@@@boost@@@boost@@AAEAAV12@PBD0I@Z) referenced in function "public: class boost::basic_regex<char,struct boost::regex_traits<char,class boost::w32_regex_traits<char> > > & __thiscall boost::basic_regex<char,struct boost::regex_traits<char,class boost::w32_regex_traits<char> > >::assign(char const *,char const *,unsigned int)" (?assign@?$basic_regex@DU?$regex_traits@DV?$w32_regex_traits@D@boost@@@boost@@@boost@@QAEAAV12@PBD0I@Z) xp_regex_match error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: bool __thiscall boost::re_detail::perl_matcher<class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >::const_iterator,class std::allocator<struct boost::sub_match<class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >::const_iterator>

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
