people/people.htm says it was revised 21 October 2004, which can't be right since the live version says that and is different.

Glad to hear it.

John, Jonathan: Perhaps you two should updated the "Getting Started" guide with a note about these configuration options, and perhaps a link out to the documentation that describes them more fully. Doug

Done for regex. John.

There's a ".tar.bz2" that was compressed with bzip2. Did I miss something? Doug

Oops, apology. /Pavel

I'm using a Jamfile to link against the thread library and from the error message below it seems that there is a mismatch between what autolink expects (libboost_thread-vc71-mt-gd-1_33.lib) and what is actually compiled (boost_thread-vc71-mt-gd-1_33.lib).

Based on the error, autolink is looking for a static library, but you appear to want to link against the dll version, try defining BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK when building to force autolink to look for the dll import library, and to ensure that the thread lib is correctly mangled with __declspec(dllimport) etc. John.

Ouch, my bad. What got me confused was that this works fine under 1.32 without the define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK. I guess it does because 1.32 only supports the dll variant of thread. 1.33 apparently now supports static and dynamic variants again... Thanks!
