Dear all,

sorry for bothering you again, but the problem did not disappear. With the changes from Juergen it worked yesterday. But today it does not anymore (maybe I was too tired yesterday...).

You find my Jamroot[1] and the output of "bjam -d+2"[2] below. The strange thing is that the file "C:\boost_1_50_0\bin.v2\libs\filesystem\build\msvc-9.0\debug\threading-multi\boost_filesystem-vc90-mt-gd-1_50.lib" exists. However, the linker reports that it cannot open it.

I am greatful for any help, since I am new to boost.

Thank you,
Ronny

Dear all,

I successfully imported the boost_filesystem, but no I am stuck with
boost_regex. The linker complains that it is not able to open
'libboost_regex-vc90-mt-gd-1_50.lib' although it is there (in
c:\boost_1_50_0\stage\lib). Again, I am using Windows 7. Anyone has an
idea why? Because the boost::filesystem works.

Well, I think autolinking is getting in the way because your Jamroot is 
slightly wrong and fails to pull  in Boost.Regex.


link /NOLOGO /INCREMENTAL:NO /DEBUG /MACHINE:X86 /subsystem:console
/out:"..\boo
st-build\msvc-9.0\debug\threading-multi\spectraImport.exe"
@"..\boost-build\ms
vc-9.0\debug\threading-multi\spectraImport.exe.rsp"

The interesting part is in the response file "...\spectraImport.exe.rsp". To 
get its contents use -d+2 or -n. And please attach the (zipped) output next 
time.

But I guess the problem is here:


project spectraImport

     : requirements <library>/boost/filesystem//boost_filesystem
     : requirements <library>/boost/regex//boost_regex
     : build-dir ../boost-build

     ;

You can only have one "requirements" block. Example below:

project spectraImport
    : requirements
        <library>/boost/filesystem//boost_filesystem
        <library>/boost/regex//boost_regex
      # Disable autolinking
        <define>BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB
     : build-dir ../boost-build
     ;

And the best is to completely disable autolinking when using Boost.Build. It 
only gets in the way.

Hope this helps,

Yours,

Jürgen
