Hi I have a sample code just to check if I can link to boost regex The code is : #include <boost/regex.hpp> bool testregex( const char* StringToMatch ) { return( boost::regex_match( StringToMatch, boost::regex("[A-Z]+") )); } int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { bool trial = testregex( "hello how r u ?"); return 1; } I am in dll mode both in debug and release versions. The release version compiles, links and runs successfully The debug build, however throws two linker errors: I error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: bool __thiscall boost::re_detail::perl_matcher<char const *,class stlpd_std::allocator<struct boost::sub_match<char const *> >,struct boost::regex_traits<char,class boost::w32_regex_traits<char> >
