The Program Options lib is listed in the documentation as header only, but I'm getting error messages when attempting to build against it.

In particular it's complaining about not having 'libboost_program_options-vc71-sgd-1_36.lib'

It's a lib and dependent on your linker settings it is either linked statically or as a shared library (DLL).

Ah, that's not what the docs say: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0

Program Options

The program_options library allows program developers to obtain

program options, that is (name, value) pairs from the user, via conventional methods such as command line and config file.

Author(s) Vladimir Prus First Release 1.32.0 Standard

Build & Link Header only

Similarly the 'Getting Started' page doesn't list it as needing to be pre-built. Should I file a bug report for that? Scott
