This doesn't explain why one shouldn't use a shared rt with the static boost.thread lib! [IMO there got some things mixed up.]
Yes it seems so. I know no reason why a dynamic CRT could not be used with the static lib. There indeed seems something wrong. I recommend having Michael also have a look on it!
IIRC the code above is only considered when there is no static TSS cleanup possible for a certain compiler, no?
Hmm. As far as I remember the code is specific to MSVC, and the static TSS cleanup has been resolved. So in principle any MS compiler should now support it.
AFAIK this is a common (DLL) problem and not specific to the thread library.
Again yes. I misunderstood your original post. I vaguely remember havin tried to ask the question before. But perhaps I made my point not clear enough. Perhaps you can resolve the issue? I just tried to compile with having BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB while selecting the dynamic RTL. (Which is exactly what you are refering too?) At link stage the compiler complains about: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc71-mt-gd-1_32.lib' So this obviously is because the bjam did not build it. Only libboost_thread-vc71-mt-sgd.lib is there. Altough I recommend to test it before enabling it. Roland
