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

      ...
The regex lib isn't set up to link against the jam generated libs 
(they all
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
...
names it expects.
or
2) Build the regex lib using the supplied makefiles - automatic
I was experiencing a similar problem with C++Builder 5.  
I got the linker error "Unable to open file 'BCB5RE300L.LIB'"

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 the 
makefiles?

Here is the program I try to compile:

#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;
}
