It looks to me like a runtime issue and not a build issue. You need to make sure you have the path to the Boost DLLs in your application's runtime PATH environment variable before it runs (or the DLLs in the same directory as your application).

Hope this helps.

Hello all,

How to properly link boost library DLLs? I have #define-d the following:

#define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK #define BOOST_DYN_LINK #define BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL #define BOOST_THREAD_PROVIDES_FUTURE_CONTINUATION #define BOOST_THREAD_VERSION 4

And I still get the following problem:

--------------------------- testprogs.exe - System Error --------------------------- The code execution cannot proceed because boost_thread-vc142-mt-gd-x64-1_75.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. --------------------------- OK ---------------------------

I get the same error when I try to run the program using DLLs that I built and while running using the prebuilt binaries.

Not sure what step I'm missing. The program runs fine if I build using static libs. The problem is only with DLLs.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks, Anand.

Anand, This is easy to fix on Windows. Windows first looks for dlls in the directory that the exe is launched from. Copy the boost dlls to the directory that testprogs.exe is in. Damien
