Re: [Boost-users] VS2005 with boost and /CLR

Edward , I think that is want i am doing below is my other posting that knowone has replyed yet. "VS2005 threads with clr option not working" hello, I am trying to compile a simple proragm with the thread headers included and the clr option in VS2005 When i include the thread headers and set the to compile with the /clr option the app will not execute and give the error below: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b). Click on OK to terminate the application." this sample program works fine without the clr option, however I am writing a managed c++ app that needs this option on. also I have used the lib installer from http://www.boost-consulting.com/products/free the 1.34.1 installer for vs8.0, I have selected all options and still does not work. I have tried defining BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL and BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB, still fails. BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB error message is the same as if I did not have this define. BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL error message: "This application has failed to start because boost_threads-vc80-mt-gd-1_34_1.dll was not found. Re-Installing the application may fix this problem." my project prefs have the following settings: c/c++ - additional include directories= "C:\Program Files\Boost\boost_1_34_1\" linker - additional include directories= "C:\Program Files\Boost\boost_1_34_1\lib" [code] #include "stdafx.h" #include <iostream> #include //#define BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL //#define BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB #include #include int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { boost::xtime expiration; boost::timer the_timer; //starts the timer std::cout<<"Welcome to the sample program!"<>buff; } [/code] Jason McGuidwin Gnostech Inc.

I want to use the boost libraries with VS2005 and CLR option.

how did you do this? how do you do this?

I can get it to work without clr but I need to use managed and unmanaged code.

You create a mixed mode CLR module, using C++/CLI, where you can have both CLR constructs ( classes etc. ) and C++ standard constructs ( classes etc. ). In your C++ standard classes you can use Boost just as you normally would in standard C++.

In your CLR class methods you can instantiate objects of standard C++ types, as well as your own types, and manipulate them. You can not, however, have an object of a standard C++ type as a member variable of a CLR class.
