Re: [Boost-users] Why "Mixing a dll boost library with a static runtimeis a really bad idea..."?

It absolutely *will* cause your program to crash if you do that: the dll and the application will have different runtime libraries

The OP says he wants to use boost libs as DLLs, but with static runtime. Isn't it possible to build boost with "link=shared runtime-link=static" ? Then the dll and the application would have the same runtime libraries.
