I think this is a problem with mis-matched /Zc:wchar_t options - Boost is normally built with that flag on, while STLPort is normally built with it off. Depending on how you intend to build your own code, either rebuild STLPort with /Zc:wchar_t or use:

bjam -sTOOLS=vc7.1-stlport -sBUILD="off"

In fact this is the default setting, and having double checked it works for me without having to mess with the BUILD variable, have you changed something else somewhere? I can reproduce the makefile problem though, I'll get that fixed.

I finally compiled the whole thing (by enabling wchar_t builtin support...) and I ran into the same problem I had before: when I try to USE the regex class in my code I get the following 2 linker errors: html to mhtml.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall boost::reg_expression::reg_expression(char const *,unsigned int,class _STL::allocator<char> const &)" (??0?$reg_expression@DV?$regex_traits@D@boost@@V?$allocator@D@_STL@@@boost@@ QAE@PBDIABV?$allocator@D@_STL@@@Z) referenced in function "public: __thiscall boost::basic_regex::basic_regex(char const *,unsigned int,class _STL::allocator<char> const &)" (??0?$basic_regex@DV?$regex_traits@D@boost@@V?$allocator@D@_STL@@@boost@@QAE @PBDIABV?$allocator@D@_STL@@@Z) html to mhtml.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall boost::reg_expression::~reg_expression(void)" (??1?$reg_expression@DV?$regex_traits@D@boost@@V?$allocator@D@_STL@@@boost@@ QAE@XZ) referenced in function "public: __thiscall boost::basic_regex::~basic_regex(void)" (??1?$basic_regex@DV?$regex_traits@D@boost@@V?$allocator@D@_STL@@@boost@@QAE @XZ) Do I have to link manually to something?

Hmm... In all the tests I ran I think I forgot to remove that library (I was forcefully adding it for some reason).

1. I built stlport 2. I set STLPORT_PATH and STLPORT_VERSION to their respective paths 3. I replaced every occurrence on /Zc:wchar_t with nothing (practically deleting them) -- you should write this somewhere on your page... 4. I went to libs/regex/build 5. I ran nmake /f vc71-stlport.mak all (it went ok this time, no errors) 6. I ran nmake /f vc71-stlport.mak install (and it all went ok).

Now I make a simple win32 app and I include . But when I actually USE the regex class I get this linker error:

html to mhtml fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'libboost_regex-vc71-s-1_31.lib'

And it is not there... What am I missing? Do I need to make a copy or something? I get that error regardless of my program's wchar_t setting (although I'll leave it off for now) or the runtime library (I'll leave that /MT).

Now this is a step forward (albeit small). Now I just need to get my program compiling. Can you help?

Yes: the library 'libboost_regex-vc71-s-1_31.lib' is the following variant:

Release runtime library. Single threaded. Static runtime library. *Not* an STLPort build.

So:

1) your app is apparently not being built with STLPort in it's include path, and given the subject line I assume you want it to be. 2) STLPort does not support the single threaded runtime out the box, so you will have to switch to one of the multithreaded runtimes. 3) If you use a debug runtime, then I suspect you will also have to define __STL_DEBUG when building as that's the STLPort setting that Boost uses by default.

Just to test that I compiled against stlport I took it out of the include path and I got this: stlport_test fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_regex-vc71-mt-1_31.lib' So it is built against stlport. About boost not being built against stlport because of a wrong STLPORT_PATH variable, that isn't possible as it is checked at build-time by bjam. The only other thing I can mention is that I also applied the boost-1.31.0-regex-patch-20040503.zip patch... Seeing as noone can fix this, can someone tell me of another regex package besides microsoft's atl?

Then I'm stuck 'cos it works for me, I'm attaching a small project that you should be able to build OK, if the libraries were correctly built.

Note: In debug mode you must select one of the multithreaded debug runtimes and define __STL_DEBUG, but you'll get a compile time error if you don't do that anyway. You can also define BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC to find out which lib file is being linked against. But my guess is that the lib's you built were not built against STLPort (incorrect STLPORT_PATH).
