I figured out the problem. I had already built the boost libraries. And had specified the location (directory) of the libraries in Linker--> General--> Additional Library Directories field. To get my project to compile, I listed every boost library in the Linker--> Input --> Additional Dependancies field. Linker--> Input --> Additional Dependancies: C:\cpp\boost\libs\regex\build\vc7-stlport\boost_regex_vc7-stlport_mdidd.lib C:\cpp\boost\libs\regex\build\vc7-stlport\boost_regex_vc7-stlport_mdid.lib C:\cpp\boost\libs\regex\build\vc7-stlport\boost_regex_vc7-stlport_mdi.lib etc... Thanks for your help, Cyril Please respond to boost-users@lists.boost.org Sent by: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org To: boost-users cc: Subject: [Boost-users] LNK2019 errors in when compiling vc7 project using Regex I'm having a problem building my VS .NET C++ Console Application. One of the classes uses the Boost RegEx++ libraries. If I compile the class by itself, I get no errors. If I build the project, I get the 15 linking errors (3 are included at the bottom of this message) and they all refer to regex++ calls. I pretty sure that my problem is that the correct regex library, dll, or class is not specified in the correct properties setting , but I have no clue where the specification needs to go. Please Help!!
