Hi:
I need to use the stdcall calling convension for a dll that I’m writing.
When ever I do this with boost, I get the following errors:
...
Creating library d:\Work\Access For Everyone\GHG\TPProductsZW\Debug\TPProductsZW.lib and object d:\Work\Access For Everyone\GHG\TPProductsZW\Debug\TPProductsZW.exp
TPProductsZW.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "class boost::system::error_category const & __stdcall boost::system::get_system_category(void)" (?get_system_category@system@boost@@YGABVerror_category@12@XZ) referenced in function "void __cdecl boost::system::`dynamic initializer for 'system_category''(void)" (??__Esystem_category@system@boost@@YAXXZ)

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
I’m building statically, and using visual studio c++ 2008, I’m also using __declspec(dllexport)
Anytime I need to change the calling convention and I am static linking anyway, always just easier to include the cpp files from boost anyway that is used to build the lib. Someone may suggest a more 'correct' way though. :)
