Re: [Boost-users] Fw: Problem linking to Boost Filesystem Library

I found the define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK in the config/auto-link headers which causes BOOST_FILESYSTEM_DECL to defined as __declspec(dllimport) and this solved the problem.

However, I am not sure why it was necessary to set this define. The headers know that I am using VS2005 (they add vc80 to the library name) and that I am using dynamic libraries (doesn't insert the s in the name).

Seems like it should be redundant information to have to define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK.

This s indicates whether the library is built to link to the static C++ runtime library. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
