Re: [Boost-Users] Using boost::thread under Visual C++

Hi all, ...

Using my main compiler, VC++ 6.0, I get the following linker error: libboost_thread.lib(exceptions.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall std::basic_string::basic_string(char const *)" ... Does anybody have any experience with this or ideas on what I could be doing wrong? I'm just starting to do multi-platform software design, and boost::thread would be a godsend!

Thanks,

We have recently started to use boost in Windows and we have had a similar problem. After some tries, we have sucesfully made a Multithreaded Console Application doing this: In C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Use run-time library select Debug Multithreaded DLL In C/C++ -> C++ Language select Enable RTTI In Link -> Input -> Object/Library modules clean all the entries (leave it blank) In Link -> Input -> Ignore Libraries set: libcmtd.lib, libcmt.lib, libcd.lib, libc.lib In the "Source Files" folder of the File View add libboost_thread.lib. We have never tried to do something else than a "Multithreaded Console Application". By the way, the conditional variables doesn't seems to work in the 1.26.0 version of the library. We are using pthreads and boost to make our programs.
