Hi,

But when I try to link the regex example, visual studio looks for 'libboost-regex...' but the file produced for that file is 'boost-regex...' without the lib prefix. I don't know if this is a boost problem or a visual studio configuration problem. Anyway, do you know how can I solve this problem and link libraries with visual studio?

The files with "lib" prefix are static libraries whereas the ones without "lib" are used for dynamic linking (DLLs). First decide, what you want to use, then build the appropriate files. with bjam use the option link=static or link=shared.

Hi, you could also use the bjam option --build-type=complete which worked pretty good for me using vs studio express 2008. With that option all possible dll's and static libraries should be built. Andreas

Have a look at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/tips/Building_boost_libraries.aspx That may help you.

I compiled and linked corectly a build. But now, it tells me it doesn't find the dll when it runs. Is this a similar problem to that of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in linux? And, how can I build several targets at once? Because I don't have debug versions of my libraries. Can I do like this? bjam --toolset=msvc variant=release variant=debug

Hi Germán, If your DLLs are being created correctly, then I think you should check to make sure the DLLs exist in the same directory as your executable, or that they are in one of the directories accessible system-wide (e.g. C:\Windows\System or C:\Windows\System32). Usually it is simple enough to just copy the DLLs into your executable directory. Regards, Markus.
