The section you added is informative, but it doesn't directly address the OP's actual problem:
boost-thread correctly looks for boost_thread-bcb-mt-d-1_32.lib, but date_time, filesystem and regex all look for
libboost_XXXXXX-bcb-mt-d-1_32.lib, not boost_XXXXXX-bcb-mt-d-1_32.lib
Isn't this still a problem?
John's reply to my original post is correct. By default all libraries should use static linking as filesystem did. boost-thread is different as the static lib doesn't work on well on win32 so it always tries to use the dll version. I got confused because: I had to use dynamic RTL because I use boost thread. I thought this meant I had to link against all boost libraries as dlls, but this isn't the case. I can still link against other boost libraries as static libs, providing they are built to use the dynamic rtl (no -s in the file name which indicates use of static rtl). So everything is working as expected. To link against DLLs, I have to define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK. The only issue I can see at the moment is that serialization doesn't do auto-linking but Robert as said he doesn't want to play with this before the 1.32.0 release. Thanks Russell
