Hi John I cannot express my joy in middle of the night here. I just now looked at your solution and it worked like a magic. I was literally frustrated at this problem and thought of leaving programming in C++. You lifted my spirts up, Thank you very much. On Feb 17, 2008 2:50 PM, John Maddock wrote:

HI,

I have built regex library with stlport using the following command

nmake -fvc8-stlport.mak ( I copied vc71-stlport.mak to vc8-stlport and updated vc71 to vc80).

It created *boost_regex-vc80-mt-gdp-1_34_1.lib *and dll files.

I have defined the two variables in my application in the same order.

#define #define __STL_DEBUG #define BOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK

Iam getting the following errors. can any 1 help me ? I am not able to proceed further with my application. I am stuck for last four days.

I have seen some posts on this but not able to find the solution. I have defined the boost regex lib path properly.

Appreciate your help

The names being looked for by the linker don't include the __declspec(dllimport) modifier, so it looks to me as though your #defines are having no effect? These should be defined in the project options->Preprocessor->defines dialog so that they are set consistently across *all* source files.

If all else fails, then: create a static library project in your IDE with the same settings as your application. Add the libs/regex/src/*.cpp files to it. Add the define BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB to your application settings and make the static library a dependency of the application and rebuild. Voila, job done. Instructions for building as a dll are pretty much the same.

HTH, John.
