Re: [Boost-users] Using regex with Visual Studio. NET 2003

I am porting a project that uses regex from Visual Studio 6 to Visual Studio .NET 2003. It works fine with VS6, but now I am getting linker errors:

TestConsole.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall boost::reg_expression

I have changed the C-runtime library settings, I have set BOOST_REGEX_STATIC_LINK to make sure I link against the static version, but nothing worked. Looking at the error messages, it seems I am still linking against the DLL version (dllimport).

How did you set the define? It should be set in the project settings -> C++ -> preprocessor options section. Other obvious things to double check: You rebuilt the library with vc7.1 right? And are the libraries in your lib search path ?

Does anybody have regex working with .NET 2003?

Yes thanks, it what boost.regex is primarily developed in :-) John
