BTW, Comeau support says that adding a Windows auto-link facility is on their agenda for 2005.
They could probably save a lot of time by just using the boost one.
I think there's a missunderstanding here. Boost auto_link relies on #pragma comment, which is not supported by Comeau. Therefore the current boost auto_link simply can't be made to work with Comeau. (The header compiles, but it has no effect.)
I was a mixing auto-link questions with dll questions. A more careful investigation is that the Comeau doesn't recognize dllexport . It seems that they went to extra effort to permit compilation of winnt.h but that doesn't include dllexport. So I don't see any way to build a windows DLL library version with this compiler.
I'm hoping this is one of the things they're planning to add in 2005. Jonathan
