Hi, I'm having trouble using the boost::ptr_container library. I seem to get this linker error with the code below under MSVC8. error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall boost::ptr_container_detail::static_move_ptr > >,struct boost::heap_clone_allocator>::null_clone_allocator<0> > ptr_container_detail@boost@@Uheap_clone_allocator@3@@ ptr_container_detail@boost@@@ptr_container_detail@boost@@@ ptr_container_detail@boost@@QAE@AAV012@@Z) ----- SAMPLE CODE BEGIN ----- #include struct Test { int a; int b; }; typedef boost::ptr_list< Test > MyList; typedef MyList::auto_type TestPtr; struct MyClass { MyList theList; void push( TestPtr& t ) { theList.push_back( t.release() ); } TestPtr pop() { TestPtr t = theList.pop_front(); return t; } }; int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) { TestPtr t( new Test ); MyClass c; c.push( t ); t = c.pop(); return 0; } ----- SAMPLE CODE END ----- I'm not aware of the ptr_container library having an import library and am at a loss at why this error is occurring, although it seems to be with the MyClass::pop() method. Is it because it's returning the auto_type by value? If so what are the alternatives? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mark.
