[Boost-users] [python|1.36_beta] Why am I forced to define BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB?

Hi! I am using VS2005SP1, compiling debug version with MFC in a static lib. No problem for boost libs to auto-select the correct (static) libraries all the time. Enters Boost.Python which deliberately chooses to ignore my compiler settings and to set BOOST_PYTHON_DYNAMIC_LIB and then later at boost\python\detail\config.hpp, line 128: #ifdef BOOST_PYTHON_DYNAMIC_LIB # define BOOST_DYN_LINK // <---- BOOM! #endif which obviously is properly catched in auto_link.hpp, line 292 Everything works as expected if I define BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB, but I do not understand why I have to take that extra effort. All other boost libs play together with my the compiler settings ... Am I missing something? Markus
