Subject: How to use boost::regex source code without using any *.lib file
To: boost-users@lists.boost.org


Hello,
   
    Recently I  used boost::regex in my project(VS2005 IDE). It works well with linking the lib file. But I want to use the source code of boost::regex.I include the regex.hpp in the project and used BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB macro; But I got such error infomation when linking the code.

error LNK2001: 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)

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "private: void __thiscall boost::re_detail::perl_matcher<char const *,class std::allocator<struct boost::sub_match<char const *> >,struct boost::regex_traits<char,class boost::w32_regex_traits<char> > >::construct_init(class boost::basic_regex<char,struct boost::regex_traits<char,class boost::w32_regex_traits<char> > > const &,enum boost::regex_constants::_match_flags)" (?construct_init@?$perl_matcher@PBDV?$allocator@U?$sub_match@PBD@boost@@@std@@U?$regex_traits@DV?$w32_regex_traits@D@boost@@@boost@@@re_detail@boost@@AAEXABV?$basic_regex@DU?$regex_traits@DV?$w32_regex_traits@D@boost@@@boost@@@3@W4_match_flags@regex_constants@3@@Z)

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: bool __thiscall boost::re_detail::perl_matcher<char const *,class std::allocator<struct boost::sub_match<char const *> >,struct boost::regex_traits<char,class boost::w32_regex_traits<char> > >::find(void)" (?find@?$perl_matcher@PBDV?$allocator@U?$sub_match@PBD@boost@@@std@@U?$regex_traits@DV?$w32_regex_traits@D@boost@@@boost@@@re_detail@boost@@QAE_NXZ)

I want to know why I can't use the source code of boost::regex. Is there any thing I need to do? Any help will be appreciated!

Thank you!
