I just downloaded Boost and am trying to do some development using it. Our product will be developed and fielded on both Win2K and Solaris.

So far I've been using Boost solely on VC6, and I have a question regarding building the threads library. I've gotten the build to run correctly, but it doesn't seem to build a DLL version of the

--- In Boost-Users@y..., "sdussin" wrote: library.

I looked in the both the runtime-link-static and runtime-link- dynamic dirs, and both contain only a .LIB version of the library. Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Or am I misunderstanding what should be generated?

I don't follow you here. You built it correctly on what platform with what compiler? Currently the Boost.Threads build process creates static link libraries on most platforms. On the Win32 platform it also generates an extra DLL and its import library as an unfortunate necessity for implementation of TSS. So... on all platforms you should get a libboostthread.lib static library and on Win32 you should also get a boostthreadmon.dll and boostthreadmon.lib import library.

Any clarification or pointers would be greatly welcomed.

Thanx, Steve Dussinger
