Thank for the earlier responses. It seems almost impossible to build regex lib to Pocket PC platform. I am getting following errors: regexs.lib(src.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __cdecl boost::w32_regex_traits<unsigned short>::w32_regex_traits<unsigned short>(void)" (??0?$w32_regex_traits@G@boost@@QAA@XZ) regexs.lib(src.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol CreateFileMappingA referenced in function "public: void __cdecl boost::re_detail::mapfile::open(char const *)" (?open@mapfile@re_detail@boost@@QAAXPBD@Z) regexs.lib(src.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol CreateFileA referenced in function "public: void __cdecl boost::re_detail::mapfile::open(char const *)" (?open@mapfile@re_detail@boost@@QAAXPBD@Z) regexs.lib(src.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol FindFirstFileA referenced in function "public: __cdecl boost::re_detail::file_iterator::file_iterator(char const *)" (??0file_iterator@re_detail@boost@@QAA@PBD@Z) regexs.lib(src.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol FindNextFileA referenced in function "public: void __cdecl boost::re_detail::file_iterator::next(void)" (?next@file_iterator@re_detail@boost@@QAAXXZ) regexs.lib(src.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: static class std::basic_string __fastcall boost::re_detail::w32_traits_base::error_string(unsigned int)" (?erro This error description "regexs.lib(src.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __cdecl boost::w32_regex_traits<unsigned short>::w32_regex_traits<unsigned short>(void)" (??0?$w32_regex_traits@G@boost@@QAA@XZ)" doesn't make much sense to me. Others are not supported by Pocket PC 2003 SDK.Although unicode version of corresssponding API is supported. Please suggest any solution .

I can build static library for ARM processor. But when building for X86 emulator I am getting following error.

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'boost_regex_vc6_sss.lib'

Please help.

You shouldn't see that when building the source, only when trying to link a dll of exe that uses the lib - but in any case defining BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB when building your code will stop the headers from looking for a lib to link to, and allow you to specify your own lib to link to. I hope that makes it clear :-) John.
