Linking with dynamic boost thread library
I build the thread library with the following cmd command: bjam.exe toolset=msvc --with-thread --prefix=C:\boost\ variant=debug,release link=shared install after which I get the following libs: boost_thread-vc80-mt.lib boost_thread-vc80-mt-1_38.dll boost_thread-vc80-mt-1_38.lib boost_thread-vc80-mt-gd.lib boost_thread-vc80-mt-gd-1_38.dll boost_thread-vc80-mt-gd-1_38.lib In my application, I placed #define BOOST_THREAD_DYN_LINK in all the cpp files where thread library is included. I get the following error: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc80-mt-gd-1_38.lib' How many mistakes have I done?
Hi! your project file must explicitly link with dynamic C++ runtime. If your project is set to use static C++ runtime it will use static threading lib. If you e.g. rename boost_thread-vc80...lib to libboost_... C++ linker will blame, that you are mixing static and dynamic runtimes.

Hi Ovanes, My project is set to Multi threaded debug dll. (options/c++/code generations/runtime library in VS2005) I used to link against static boost thread libraries until now with the same setting without any problems. I switched to dynamic thread libraries in order to solve the hook problem with the _pRawDllMain pointer which was introduced in 1.37. This hook interferes with MFC. I don't know why the compiler is looking for a lib... when I #define BOOST_THREAD_DYN_LINK ? Is there some other setting in the IDE where I should be pointing out that I want to link to a dynamic thread library? Ovanes Markarian wrote:

Thanks. But now I wonder about what Ovanes said. Why did I linked successfully with static thread library when my project is set to multi threaded debug dll? Steven Watanabe-4 wrote:

What I mean is the reversed order. You can not link the static runtime and dynamic boost_thread or any other lib. On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 4:50 PM, Steven Watanabe <watanabesj@gmail.com>wrote:

You can link using the dll runtime and the static boost_thread.

I'm having a similar problem with my project. I'd like to use the dlls but no matter what, the compile warns me that it "cannot open file 'boost_regex-vc80-mt-gd-1_38.lib'" I'm trying to find where I can set the project (in vis studio 2005) to use the dynamic link libraries as opposed to the static. Based on previous entries in this thread, I assume that is the first step that I need to take. Can someone tell me where to set this?
