Re: [Boost-users] Linking with dynamic boost thread library

If the program compiles and runs the same only based on whether boost*.lib is there, what function does the boost*.dll serve

The boost*.lib files, as I think someone said earlier, are the import libraries for the boost*.dll run-time libraries. These are what you link to, in order to use boost*.dll at run time. The DLL files do not need to be in the link path, only in the executable path when your program is run. The boost*.lib files need to be in the link path when you build your program. John
