I've built and installed boost on a WinXp system with VS.Net 2003. I'm trying to use it in a static CRT project. I get the following error whenever I compile:
error C1189: #error : "Mixing a dll boost library with
a static runtime is a really bad idea..."
I noticed that this is happening because BOOST_DYN_LINK is #defined in config.hpp. Apparently dynamic linking is the default for Boost? Anyway, I've commented out this #define, but now I get a ton of warnings like the following
warning C4275: non dll-interface class 'std::logic_error'
used as base for dll-interface class 'boost::lock_error'
and the project won't link
error LNK1104: cannot open file
'libboost_thread-vc71-mt-s-1_31.lib' I looked in Boost's lib folder and there aren't any static thread binaries (eg, "libboost_thread_xxx.lib). There are only the dynamic libraries (boost_thread_xxx.lib). Apparently something failed in the build process. I have to admit I didn't sit and watch the build process for the half-hour it took to build, so something may have gone wrong. Is there a build log somewhere? Is it possible to have bjam only build Boost.Threads so that I can see if there's an error without having to rebuild the entire library? Thanks, Aaron Simmons
