Re: [Boost-users] First time using the boost libs and stuck horribly

Quoting John Maddock :

You don't say what the errors are, but that usually happens if you build the lib against one runtime library (bjam builds against the dll runtime by default), and try and link your program against a different runtime.

John.

Sorry about that, this time I've pasted the errors into this message. This is telling it to use boost_filesystem.lib in the runtime directory that bjam creates. I rebuilt the entire thing. Is there another file I'm supposed to link to? I don't remember there ever being a .dll file being built. If there is, I haven't found it yet. I'm pretty sure I followed the bjam instructions really well. Also I'm just trying to use boost::filesystem. That doesn't appear to make a dll. I've set up my MSVC project to use D:\mp3dber\boost-1.30.2 as an include directory. That's where I extracted the source and built it using bjam.
