So what happens is that I build Comeau for Win32 and a slew of errors comes out when building the date_time and program_options libraries. I think this needs to be derailed somehow.
What I meant to say here is that the build process for Comeau, as it is now with no support for building dlls, should only build the static library versions of the libraries and not the dll versions of the librtaries. I do not know enough of the Boost build process to know if this can be effected or not. I just found it disconcerting that the Boost build process attempts to build the dll versions of the libraries, and since there is no support for this in Comeau, and since BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK is defined for the dll versions of two libraries, the end-user sees many compiler errors in the build process. In my own copy of config/compiler/comeau.hpp I added: #if defined(BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK) #undef BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK #endif to the top of the file just after the: #include "boost/config/compiler/common_edg.hpp" in order to eliminate the compiler errors. Of course linker errors still occur when attempting to build dlls, but this is more acceptable to me.
