I had a dll using MFC as shared library which works fine with boost 1.35. Recently, I've started to look at 1.38 and got the following link problem:

libboost_thread-vc71-mt-gd-1_38.lib(tss_pe.obj) : error LNK2005: __pRawDllMain already defined in mfcs71d.lib(dllmodul.obj) libboost_thread-vc71-mt-gd-1_38.lib(tss_pe.obj) : warning LNK4006: __pRawDllMain already defined in mfcs71d.lib(dllmodul.obj); second definition ignored

I've searched on internet and mailing list archive and didn't find a solution to the problem. Does anyone have an idea?

If you statically link to boost.thread from a DLL, it uses the _pRawDllMain hook to ensure that thread-local storage is correctly cleaned up when a thread exits. Unfortunately, MFC also tries to use the same hook, so the two are not directly compatible. I recommend you use the DLL version of Boost.thread Anthony -- Author of C++ Concurrency in Action | http://www.manning.com/williams just::thread C++0x thread library | http://www.stdthread.co.uk Just Software Solutions Ltd | http://www.justsoftwaresolutions.co.uk 15 Carrallack Mews, St Just, Cornwall, TR19 7UL, UK.
