This is my second post. In the last post i pointed out two errors out of which one is fixed but the other one is still there.

I am trying to build a sample program on threads in VC++. It compiles successfully but the linker gives errors of unresolved external symbols. Please tell me that what "changes" we've to make in VC++ 6 linker options. Please tell me clearly that in which dialog box of VC++ IDE we have to make changes and how and what changes we've to made. I am using boost 1_27_0. Program and errors are given below:

********************************************************

The program is:

#include #include <iostream>

int count = 0; boost::mutex mutex;

void increment_count() { boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(mutex); std::cout << "count = " << ++count << std::endl; }

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { boost::thread_group threads; for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) threads.create_thread(&increment_count); threads.join_all(); }

******************************************************** The errors i am getting are:
