RE: [boost] Regex linker errors with vc6 sp5 & stlport 4.5.1

Yep, I'm letting regex pick the library for me.

Thanks for the tip about _STL & _STLD - I didn't know that (this is the
first time I've used STLport).  I'll start looking over the project with a
fresh eye towards working out why the release STLport is being linked
against the debug regex library.

At one point, I did try specifying which versions of the STLPort & regex
libs to link against.  I know I specified the correct debug versions for
both STLPort & regex at that time.  However, as I couldn't find (at the
time) where to turn off regex automatically picking the library for me, I
ended up with some 90-odd linker error messages about duplicate objects etc.
But at the end of all the messages, it still gave me the exact same linker
messages about unresolved externals.

I will try setting up STLport and regex on another machine.  Although I
don't see how this could be machine-specific, I guess it wouldn't hurt to
double check?

OK, sorry.

The error messages suggest that you are mixing debug and release runtime
libs somehow - remember that STLport puts release and debug versions in
different namespaces (_STL and _STLD), so that could be the cause of your
problem - I don't know what would cause that though - I take it you are
letting regex select the libs itself rather than adding a specific lib to
your project?
