Boost 1.40.0: How to get 'libboost_regex-vc90-mt-sgd-1_40.lib' for VC++ 2008?
Hello, just installed Boost 1.40.0 and created all libs unsing booststtrap and .\bjam Compiling an example which uses boost regex all works fine, lib 'libboost_regex-vc90-mt-gd-1_40.lib' was linked to. Im using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition with SP1 But I would like to create a stand allone exe.file, so I changed the MS Visual C++ 2008 configuration to Multithread (/MT) Obviously this will cause the linker to search for the lib 'libboost_regex-vc90-mt-sgd-1_40.lib' which ist not available within the Boost sub-folder 'stage'. May I ask how I can create the 'libboost_regex-vc90-mt-sgd-1_40.lib' ? Or ist there a website avaliable where I can download it for Boost 1.40.0 and Visual C++ 2008 ? Many thanks for any hint. Regards Sergeant 666
This is what I use to build a static version: bjam --layout=versioned --toolset=msvc-9.0 variant=debug threading=multi link=static runtime-link=static stage bjam --help shows over variants.

In particular, you might want to add -with-regex so it only builds the lib you want.

Building libraries is obviously *still* causing trouble to many users, especially novices (and me if having a 'senior moment'!). I wonder if Boost Library generation would cause less puzzlement if a collection of the most commonly required *command files* was provided, instead of 'type/paste this command string' documentation? The bjam commands get uncomfortably long for typing in, and don't allow annotation and comments on possible variants. (There might need to be different versions for Linux, Windows and MacOS, but these could be in different directories). I suspect many of these command files are already in use and could easily be contributed? Paul --- Paul A.

Hi
You may take a look at this for building Boost with the specified libraries
only, although it is for VS 2008 professional:
