Unfortunately, this whole roadtrip started with the need for STL collections to cross DLL boundaries, which is why I am using STLPort. The STL that comes with VC++ 7.1 doesn't (with the exception of string and vector). When I built boost, I built it with the vc7.1-stlport toolset, and I have the stlport library directory in my "additional library path". Along this line, I wonder if I need to be doing something special with the STLPort DLL?

One thing to check, if you have the Platform SDK installed, you should have a 'depends.exe' application... this shows you the dll an exe or dll depends upon, and even which functions of those dlls are used. Make sure stlport is one of 'em. If it isn't, make sure that your additional directories (include and library) are **before** the VS and PSDK directories. Note that boost will still depend upon msvcpt71.dll and msvcr71.dll (when compiled with VS.Net2003, but it will use the stlport dll for stl objects.

Sure enough, running depends on the boost dll shows MSVCP71D.DLL, MSVCR71D.DLL and KERNEL32.DLL, but no STLPORT! I built boost with: set STLPORT_PATH=C:\ (STLPort is in C:\STLport-4.6.2) bjam "-sTOOLS=vc7.1-stlport" "-sBUILD=debug release" install Is this not correct? I don't get any errors indicating that it can't find STLPort.
