That was the second thing I tried :) Actually, I found out that the build tool I was using (scons) stripped the 'lib' out before passing the argument to g++. Frankly I am not sure where the issue should be discussed, maybe both in boost and scons mailing lists. It seams to me that the extension boost produces _should_ be '.a'. Msvc can't link with a mingw archive can it? I mean, msvc usually can't even link with its own .lib files unless the same runtime libraries are used, and I think I read that mingw mangles names differently. The import libs may be different, and _perhaps_ should have a .lib extension since I think they are usable from msvc, but shouldn't the static libraries have a '.a' extension? Didn't they used to, or am I just remembering things wrong? I will also post to the scons mailing list to find out why the leading 'lib' is stripped. Thanks Volodya, --John
