[Boost-users] boost::serialization forcing linker to create a lib?

Hello folks I am using boost 1.37 off the CVS with the visual studio 2008 compiler. As soon as I instantiate an archive (of boost::serialization), the linker implicitly creates a lib and a exp file for my exe. Is that wanted behavior? Why? //text_iarchive archive(file); <- When this line is not commented, the linker creates the two files. This is the linker output: 'Creating library project_manager.lib and object project_manager.exp' Thank you
