Hi all,
I'm starting to use boost for the first time now, but I'm having
problems linking to the thread library (libboost_thread.lib) from
within Visual C++.
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 *)"
I checked the compiler compatibility tables online at the boost
site, but they're not recent enough to include any details on the
thread library.
When I use Visual C++ .NET (feel free to shrink away in horror) to
test it, I get about 8 linker errors complaining that a handful of
standard library functions (most dealing with the basic_string and
exception classes) are being redefined by libboost_thread.lib.
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,
Jonathan
