Dear Boost experts, I struggle to get Jeremy Pack's Boost.Extension going. I want to use the platform independent way to explicitly load shared libraries. Starting with the tutorial, it took me some time to find this out: boost::extensions::shared_library lib("mylib.dll"); boost::function fun1(lib.get("DoSomething")); works, but boost::function fun2(lib.get("DoSomething")); does not work as the compiler (Eclipse CDT Helios using gcc 4.4.0 on Windows with MinGW) complains: somefile.cpp:74: error: no matching function for call to 'boost::extensions::shared_library::get(const char [12])' I'm a bit confused. Am I blind? Is this a bug? Weird feature? User-too-dumb-error? Sincerely, Rene
