I've built and installed boost on a WinXp system with VS.Net 2003. I'm
trying to use it in a static CRT project. I get the following error
whenever I compile:
> error C1189: #error : "Mixing a dll boost library with
> a static runtime is a really bad idea..."
I noticed that this is happening because BOOST_DYN_LINK is #defined in
config.hpp. Apparently dynamic linking is the default for Boost?
Anyway, I've commented out this #define, but now I get a ton of warnings
like the following
> warning C4275: non dll-interface class 'std::logic_error'
> used as base for dll-interface class 'boost::lock_error'
and the project won't link
> error LNK1104: cannot open file
'libboost_thread-vc71-mt-s-1_31.lib'
I looked in Boost's lib folder and there aren't any static thread
binaries (eg, "libboost_thread_xxx.lib). There are only the dynamic
libraries (boost_thread_xxx.lib). Apparently something failed in the
build process. I have to admit I didn't sit and watch the build process
for the half-hour it took to build, so something may have gone wrong.
Is there a build log somewhere? Is it possible to have bjam only build
Boost.Threads so that I can see if there's an error without having to
rebuild the entire library?
Thanks,
Aaron Simmons
