[Boost-users] FW: Linker errors when using regex Lib with MSVC8 and STLPort 5.1.0 and Boost 1_33_1

Hi I have built the StlPort 5.1.0 shared dlls and boost 1_33_1 Shared dlls successfully. The Platform is MSVC8. I created a sample projeth with just on file with code: #include bool testregex( const char* StringToMatch ) { return( boost::regex_match( StringToMatch, boost::regex("[A-Z]+") )); } int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { bool trial = testregex( "hello how r u ?"); return 1; } Compilation succeeds but I get two Linker errors (BOOST_DYN_LINK is defined) Main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: bool __thiscall boost::re_detail::perl_matcher >,struct boost::regex_traits

::match(void)" (?match@?$perl_matcher@PBDV?$allocator@U?$sub_match@PBD@boost@@@stlp_std @@U?$regex_traits@DV?$w32_regex_traits@D@boost@@@boost@@@re_detail@boost @@QAE_NXZ)

I found a similar post on Boost : http://www.nabble.com/-regex-Using-regex-in-x64-exe-with-VC-8.0-t2088061 .html#a5755051 The suggested solutions on this post are: 1) check for intermixing of x86 and x64 : I am on 32 bit platform.. so intermixing does not apply 2) add regex source code and compile ( using BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB) : I get the errors for stdext namespace 1>C:\boost_1_33_1\boost/regex/v4/regex_workaround.hpp(145) : error C2653: 'stdext' : is not a class or namespace name 1> C:\boost_1_33_1\boost/regex/v4/regex_format.hpp(562) : see reference to function template instantiation 'OutputIterator boost::re_detail::copy(InputIterator,InputIterator,OutputIterator)' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> OutputIterator=boost::re_detail::string_out_iterator,stlp_std::allocator>
