Re: [Boost-users] Linking with dynamic boost thread library
If the program compiles and runs the same only based on whether boost*.lib is there, what function does the boost*.dll serve
The boost*.lib files, as I think someone said earlier, are the import libraries for the boost*.dll run-time libraries. These are what you link to, in order to use boost*.dll at run time. The DLL files do not need to be in the link path, only in the executable path when your program is run. The boost*.lib files need to be in the link path when you build your program. John
I find it odd then, that I could still run my program with no dlls. I had moved them all to the recycle bin. All this stuff isn't worth it. I will just stick w/ the static link libs. -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of John Wilkinson Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2009 8:55 AM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Linking with dynamic boost thread library

Sorry guys. I figured it out. I hadn't actually implemented any code yet that used regex, so the dll portion wasn't being used. It all works fine now.
