[Boost-users] Using regex with Visual Studio. NET 2003

6 Jan 2004

      Hi,

I am porting a project that uses regex from Visual Studio 6 to Visual 
Studio .NET 2003. It works fine with VS6, but now I am getting linker 
errors:

TestConsole.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol 
"__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall boost::reg_expression
...
::~reg_expression(void)" 
(__imp_??1?$reg_expression@DV?$regex_traits@D@boost@@V?$allocator@D@std@@@
boost@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function _main
TestConsole.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol 
"__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall boost::reg_expression(char const *,unsigned int,class std::allocator<char> 
const &)" 
(__imp_??0?$reg_expression@DV?$regex_traits@D@boost@@V?$allocator@D@std@@@
boost@@QAE@PBDIABV?$allocator@D@std@@@Z) referenced in function _main
I have changed the C-runtime library settings, I have set 
BOOST_REGEX_STATIC_LINK to make sure I link against the static version, but 
nothing worked. Looking at the error messages, it seems I am still linking 
against the DLL version (dllimport).

Does anybody have regex working with .NET 2003?

Thanks
