boost and VC++ toolkit 2003
I was wondering the Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 was going to be a future platform for boost. I believe no port is necessary just the appropriate bjam configuration. I have tried using the "vc-7_1" option but even though most of the libraries are created, when you try to use them, files such as msvcptr.lib are requested (though this does not generate any error during the compilation)... Maybe there is a workaround already? If anyone has any experience with that... The best link I have found so far is: http://groups.google.com/group/boost-list/browse_thread/thread/d9e9ba8e6c9c5 fa0/7a963d8e2eee9a4d?lnk=st&q=vc%2B%2B+toolkit+boost&rnum=1&hl=en#7a963d8e2e ee9a4d Thanks

I don't believe any workarounds are required as such: the toolkit ships with the same compiler as VC7.1, the only difference is that the dynamic runtime libraries are not supplied. So as long as you build your application with a static runtime you should be OK - unless I'm missing something here. John.
I'm wandering what does the 'dynamic runtime libraries' u mean,thanks very
much.

Thank you John, it works indeed. I was linking my application with libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-mt.lib whereas I should have linked it with libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-mt-s.lib (the static version I assume).
