Hi! For my statically linked application (w32/sol8/linux) I was up to now using only the boost regex library. I build the regex lib the oldstyle way going to the build path and calling nmake -f vc7.mak, etc. In the project settings I included the regex/build/vc7 path as an additional lib search path. The buld step works as expected this way. boost::thread does provide only the newstyle jam build way. So I downloaded the boost::winbuild stuff and tried to build the whole boost via jam -sBOOST_ROOT=. -sTOOLS=msvc. It shows some errors for some pytho stuff but builds the regex and thread lib part. So I get for example a path boost_1_26_0\libs\regex\build\bin\libboost_regex.lib\msvc\release\runtime-link-dynamic with a libboost_regex.lib But how do I have to change my project settings for a static executable? I just changed the the lib search path to this new monster path and it does not work The linker is missing the vc7-re300dm.lib then. And how to link the boost thread stuff? Is it supported for statically linked apps at all? Any suggestions on how to make use of the jam build stuff in the right way ae really appreciated. TIA, Bruno PS: will there be a working suncc-tools.jam file in the next release? -- Bruno.Voigt@ic3s.de # IC3S AG # Tel. +49.4106.655.105 # Fax. +49.4106.655.55 http://www.ic3s.de # Mobile +49.700.686.00.686 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
