[Boost-users] Re: Regex linker problem with VC7.1

Sorry, please ignore. I see that this is the same problem as that reported by Jeff Flinn. The names matched after rebuilding with bjam "-sTOOLS=vc7.1". Keith MacDonald "Keith MacDonald" wrote in message news:c0lhai$2lv$1@sea.gmane.org...

I built boost 1.31.0 using bjam "-sTOOLS=VC7.1", and the static library names that are generated for regex do not match those generated by its header files. For example, one actual library name is:

libboost_regex-VC7.1-mt-gd-1_31.lib

Whereas, because of the "#pragma comment(lib, ..." stuff, the linker expects:

libboost_regex-vc71-mt-gd-1_31.lib

There's no header macro to disable automatic linking, so renaming the library is the easiest workaround.
