Re: How to build boost to get proper boost::regex configuration?

...

I was experiencing a similar problem with C++Builder 5. I got the linker error "Unable to open file 'BCB5RE300L.LIB'"

Which means that either the expected lib isn't in your lib search

doesn't exist.

When I try solution #1, I get a different error: "Unresolved external boost::w32_regex_traits<char>::~w32_regex_traits<char>{}'"

Is there a simple solution? Or should I just try building using

...

makefiles?

Here is the program I try to compile:

I presume that you manually added the jam produced lib file to your

Finally got it working by running the bcb5.mak file from libs\regex\build. I just didn't realize that I had to create .lib and .dll files on my own (I incorrectly assumed that everything I needed would be in the source). Thanks for your help. Is there a define that will allow me to use the regex package without having to generate bcb5re300l.dll? Right now I need the .lib file to compile, and the .dll file to run. --- In Boost-Users@y..., "John Maddock" wrote: path or the project?

Also make sure that you pick the right lib file or the program will

runtime!! One good reason to use the supplied makefiles.

#define BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB #include bool validate_card_format(const std::string s) { static const boost::regex e("(\\d{4}[- ]){3}\\d{4}"); return regex_match(s, e); } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { return 0; }

have the same name currently which doesn't help), you can either:

1) Define BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB so that it doesn't try to link against

work just fine then.
