Dear all, I'm having a problem linking the simplest Boost unit_test program on the platform described above. More details here: Compiler: MSVC71 OS: WinXP Pro SP2 STLport 5.0 config: All default as obtained from CVS STLPORT_5_0 branch, except that I use /Zc:wchar_t to use wchar_t as built-in type. Boost 1.33/34: All default as obtained from CVS, built with the following command line: bjam --without-python "-sBUILD=debug release <runtime-link>static <threading>multi <stlport-version>5.0 on <define>BOOST_SIGNALS_NAMESPACE=siglib" stage My simple unit_test program: ===== #include <string> #define BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN #include BOOST_AUTO_UNIT_TEST( Test_Function ) { std::wstring string = L"some test string"; BOOST_CHECK( string.length() == 16 ); } ===== My project setting uses "Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)" in code gen, and links to "libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-mt-sgdp.lib" in debug mode. My purpose was to use STLport in a DLL, but the whole Boost statically linked. (I know I can link with "libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-mt-gdp.lib," but I want Boost to be statically linked.) The linker gives the following errors: stlportstld.5.0.lib(stlportstld.5.0.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: __thiscall stlpd_std::__owned_list::~__owned_list(void)" (??1__owned_list@stlpd_std@@QAE@XZ) already defined in libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-mt-sgdp.lib(unit_test_suite.obj) stlportstld.5.0.lib(stlportstld.5.0.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: __thiscall stlpd_std::basic_string::deallocate(void *,unsigned int)" (?deallocate@?$__node_alloc@$00$0A@@stlpd_std@@SAXPAXI@Z) already defined in libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-mt-sgdp.lib(unit_test_suite.obj) stlportstld.5.0.lib(stlportstld.5.0.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: class stlpd_std::basic_string & __thiscall stlpd_std::basic_string::assign(char const *,unsigned int)" (?assign@?$basic_string@DV?$char_traits@D@stlpd_std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@stlpd_std@@QAEAAV12@PBDI@Z) already defined in libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-mt-sgdp.lib(unit_test_log.obj) <more similar errors removed...> Is there any kind soul here can enlighten me a bit? Is it at all recommended (or even possible) to use STLport in DLL while statically linking with Boost?
