I have wanted to use boost::random::random_device; as a seeder for my generator. #include <boost/random/random_device.hpp> // For boost::random::random_device; seeder But using this requires that I link to a library file // LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_random-vc142-mt-gd-x64-1_73.lib' So I have instead used C++ std random device successfully using std::random_device; random_device seeder; // Use seeder to get a different set of values each time. static boost::random::mt19937 gen(seeder()); // uint32_t But is there any way I can stick to the Boost version (I imagine that it might prove more portable? Or is this a delusion?) Suggestions welcome. Paul
