Right, but does it always try to auto-link or only if you use the features that are in the separate library?
Well, I'm less certain of that -- it's a windows thing I don't use daily, butI believe it can be shut off undefining BOOST_DATE_TIME_DYN_LINK. If it's a serious problem, for 1.36 I'll just remove the date-time library for good -- it's really only there to support some legacy code now...
I just had a quick try at fixing this: I refactored the headers so that only: date_generators.hpp greg_month.hpp greg_weekday.hpp try and auto-link. However, including <boost/thread.hpp> resulted in all of those headers being indirectly pulled in by date_time, so auto-linking still occurs :-( So I guess the question is whether this "legacy" code can be factored into separate headers that are only pulled in if you need them? Feels like the right thing to do if it's possible, but I don't understand date_time well enough to do it :-( HTH, John.
