Hi, I am getting the following error. I see that it is trying to link to the static library, but I still get this error. Would appreciate if someone can correct my usage. Linking to lib file: lib"boost_thread"-vc71-mt-sgd-1_31.lib c:\Boost\include\boost-1_31\boost\config\auto_link.hpp(269) : fatal error C1189: #error : "Mixing a dll boost library with a static runtime is a really bad idea..." Here is my sample: #define _MSC_VER 1310 #define BOOST_LIB_NAME "boost_thread" #define BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC "on"// Show library file details. #include #include #include <iostream> void hello() { std::cout << "Hello world, I'm a thread!" << std::endl; } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { boost::thread thrd(&hello); thrd.join(); return 0; }
