The readmes do say, but briefly, get bjam from the boost sourceforge site, and run it in the boost root directory. Alternatively, there may well be project files for use with visual studio available for regex inside the boost distribution.

Build the libraries? I understand what that means. How do I do that? ________________________________

Hi boost

New to C++ and boost so please bear with me.

I have downloaded the boost library (1.3.2) from sf.net on to a Windows XP platform running Visual Studio .NET. I've started a C++ project however when I compile it, having added the regex class, I get the following error:

fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_regex-vc71-sgd-1_32.lib'

I have include the lib path for boost and that worked OK with the other libraries but not this one. Any one got any ideas?

did you build the boost libraries for your compiler(apparently VC++7.1)?
