Thread library Win32 static linking for MSVC 2003 release?
Does anybody know when will be the next release of Boost that has the threads library fixed such that it is possible to link statically in win32 platforms compiling with MSVC++ 2003? I have read that it will be fixed for the next release. Also, how stable is the current version of the library in the CVS repository? I was browsing through it and it seems to have been fixed. Anybody has experiences with it? Thanks, Emilio.

It's in release 1.32, which will be released soon (this or next month). However this support is only available for 2 or 3 compilers (MSVC71 among them), as exe file (PE image) has to be "constructed" in very special way, and boost developers do not know how to get it right with other compilers. B.

... or other compilers just do not support required feature of PE image format. B.
