Is that correct, or is "D:/Program Files/STLport-5.1.5 D:/Program Files/STLport-5.1.5/lib" being interpretted as a *single* path with spaces in it? >I don't think you need the D:/Program Files/STLport-5.1.5/lib part in there - but I could be wrong!

I merely changed the user-config.jam file which contains the following: # using stlport : : /usr/include/stlport /usr/lib ; So I replace both pathes by my windows stlport's path.

If all else fails try building program_options from your IDE as a static library project using the same build options as your .exe: then you just have to define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB in your application project to disable auto-linking, and set the static lib project as a dependency of the .exe.

My problem is not with linking program_options, it's with linking my program that references it. I appologize if I may have confused you, but I was able to successfully build libboost_program_options-vc80-mt-gd-1_34_1.lib and I can reference it in project. The problem manifests when I try to link my program with the lib (and I suspect for every boost lib) while using stlport. Just to be clear, I tried your proposed solution of building program_options from my IDE, the lib was built successfully and I added the reference to it from my program but I still have the same problem when I link my program: error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall boost::program_options::options_description::options_description(class stlpd_std::basic_string<char,class stlpd_std::char_traits<char>,class stlpd_std::allocator<char> > const &,unsigned int)" (??0options_description@program_options@boost@@QAE@ABV?$basic_string@DV?$char_traits@D@stlpd_std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@stlpd_std@@I@Z) referenced in function _main Gabriel -----Message d'origine----- De : boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] De la part de John Maddock Envoyé : jeudi 6 mars 2008 10:30 À : boost-users@lists.boost.org Objet : Re: [Boost-users] link problem: boost + stlport + msvc8 CHABO Gabriel wrote:

When I tried to link, I got an error saying that libboost_program_options-vc80-mt-gdp-1_34_1.lib could not be found, so I had to build it.

I edited the user-config.jam file to add the following line:

using stlport : : D:/Program Files/STLport-5.1.5 D:/Program Files/STLport-5.1.5/lib ;
