I've created a windows console project with VC++ 6.0 and just used one of the examples in the documentation. I've also added the BOOST_HAS_THREADS macro in the settings. The program compiles well in debug mode but gives the following linking errors:
You shouldn't add BOOST_HAS_THREADS. This will be set for you by
config headers if you've linked against the multi-threaded runtime libraries.

Link errors like this are an indication that both the DLL and the LIB version of the C RTL have been linked into your application. If you are using the last release of Boost Jam built only libraries that link against the DLL version of the C RTL and you should do the same in your application (Project | Settings | C/C++ | Code Generation | Use run-time library | (Debug) Multithreaded DLL). The current CVS Jamfiles will build libraries that link against both the DLL and
Yes, thank you. This helped. I have also removed the BOOST_HAS_THREADS from my settings and it works fine. However, I have now of course a question regarding the multithreaded DLL. I normally compile using the pure multithreaded. What's the difference to the multithreaded DLL? How do I change the jam files so that I compile the boost library with the pure multithreaded. I have now only got the multithreaded DLL versions. Maybe I should always use the multithreaded DLL as default. Gunnar Olerud --- In Boost-Users@y..., "bill_kempf" <williamkempf@h...> wrote: the the
LIB version of the C RTL so you'll be able to choose which to link against with your own applications, but you'll need to insure you link against the correct libboost_thread.lib in that case.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Hope that helped.
