[Boost-users] STL port link error

Hi, I have compiled the boost library for VC7.1 with STL_PORT using the following command line arguments: bjam -"sTOOLS=vc-7_1-stlport" --prefix=C:\Boost\temp install Everything went fine after I have exported the STLPORT_PATH. I create a simple project, code is generated for dynamic runtime lib with the multithreaded option. I can easily compile the example program from http://www.boost.org/libs/filesystem/example/simple_ls.cpp The compile options are /O2 /I "c:\vendor_libs\VC71\include\stlport" /D "_WINDOWS" /D "_DEBUG" /D "WIN32" /D "HAVE_STLPORT" /D "_STLP_DEBUG" /D "_MBCS" /FD /EHsc /MDd /GS /GR /YX"stdafx.h" /Fp"Release/Threading.pch" /Fo"Release/" /Fd"Release/vc70.pdb" /W3 /nologo /c /Wp64 /Zi /TP and the linker is invoked with /VERBOSE:LIB /OUT:"Release/Threading.exe" /INCREMENTAL /NOLOGO /LIBPATH:"c:\vendor_libs\VC71\include\stlport\..\..\lib" /LIBPATH:"C:\vendor_libs\VC71\lib\boost\VC7_STLPORT" /DEBUG /PDB:"Release/Threading.pdb" /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /OPT:NOREF /OPT:NOICF /MACHINE:X86 kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib The link error I am getting is: Linking...
