Hello, just installed Boost 1.40.0 and created all libs unsing booststtrap and .\bjam Compiling an example which uses boost regex all works fine, lib 'libboost_regex-vc90-mt-gd-1_40.lib' was linked to. Im using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition with SP1 But I would like to create a stand allone exe.file, so I changed the MS Visual C++ 2008 configuration to Multithread (/MT) Obviously this will cause the linker to search for the lib 'libboost_regex-vc90-mt-sgd-1_40.lib' which ist not available within the Boost sub-folder 'stage'. May I ask how I can create the 'libboost_regex-vc90-mt-sgd-1_40.lib' ? Or ist there a website avaliable where I can download it for Boost 1.40.0 and Visual C++ 2008 ? Many thanks for any hint.
