libboost_filesystem-vc90-xxx-1_39.lib requirement in boost 41?
My project (windows, vs2008, debug) was linking successfully under boost-39. When I switched to boost 41 version the linker started to complain about missing lib (fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc90- mt-gd-1_39.lib'). My linker properties does not specify the library explicitly, just the path to boost libraries. The path had been changed to boost 41 (I have $BOOST system var that both compiler and linker properties refer to) and there are corresponding libraries under the same relative path in boost 41 (libboost_filesystem-vc90-mt-gd-1_41.lib). Specifying new library explicitly in the linker properties did not help. I renamed old "39" directory and both compiler and linker are referring to boost via system variable. I double checked that this system variable points to the new "41" directory. Compiling completes sucessfully, but linker fails. How can I correct the problem?

You need to rebuild every single object file in your project, I think. - Volodya

Nod, the fact that something is trying to link to the 1.39 lib file still means that either you haven't changed the include path everywhere, or that some object file or other hasn't been rebuilt. HTH, John.
