That Boost.Regex and ICU annoyances took a bit of time to figure out when I first experienced each of those errors, and the odd thing, those errors have been propagating through many version now, and new ones seem to keep popping up, many of which I have talked about on this list, how to fix it, why it should be fixed, but no one that has commit privileges has yet done anything.
Sorry I must have missed that, what's the problem/fix?
The "error: link=shared together with runtime-link=static is not allowed" problem is the newest problem I have, appeared in recent versions, prevents us from doing a complete build. The ICU renaming thing, well, <quick google search>, Ooo, looky, the 2nd result (1st is the Boost.Regex docs) is one of my old (well, the most recent one) posts on this exact subject on the boost-users mailing list. :) http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2008/12/43214.php I have made much older posts as well, but google cannot find them it seems... But yea, ICU version 3 (and they are *well* past that now, version 3 is really old now) changed the naming convention of their shared libraries, thus Boost does not link with it without renaming things. Check that post for what they were.
