I have a directory in my project call Boost. I added the directory to the library files list. In this directory I have the libboost*.lib files and the boost*.dll files. I am able to get it working with no problem if I only have the libboost*.lib files in there. If I rename them, and add the dll into the directory, it will not build. That is where it will give me the error saying that it is looking for libboost*.lib -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Steven Watanabe Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2009 1:03 PM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Linking with dynamic boost thread library AMDG Green, Jason M NSWCDL, W33 wrote:
I'm having a similar problem with my project. I'd like to use the dlls but no matter what, the compile warns me that it "cannot open file 'boost_regex-vc80-mt-gd-1_38.lib'"
You /are/ linking to the dll then.
I'm trying to find where I can set the project (in vis studio 2005) to use the dynamic link libraries as opposed to the static. Based on previous entries in this thread, I assume that is the first step that I need to take.
Have you added the location of the libraries to the library paths? (Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories, I think)
Can someone tell me where to set this?
