I just downloaded and built boost 1.33 for VC-8_0 and STLPORT 5.0. (which required adding a jam file for vc-8_0) the build seems to have gone fine, and a lot of things work, but I get the following link error which seems to indicate that at least part of boost builds for a client application with the wrong namespace on stlpd_std::allocator<signature>. The library actually has exports for std::allocator<signature> I realize that it could easily be operator error <mine>, but I don't have the tools handy to backtrack through miles of templates and #define configuration variables to grok the underlying cause yet. Any pointers would be appreciated. ============================================================================ ========== FileUtils.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: bool __thiscall boost::re_detail::perl_matcher >,struct boost::regex_traits
