I have read that boost::mpi package is has many advantages and want to use it in for development in Visual Studio 2010/12 environment

I downloaded OpenMPI version 1.62 which is the last version supporting binaries for windows and added the Bin directory to my PATH

I downloaded the Boost Library

I found out how to change the user-jam (using mvsc; using mpi;) and mpi-jam ( local cluster_pack_path_native = "C:\\Workspace\\Lib\\OpenMPI_v1.6.2-x64") files in order to compile the mpi library

I managed to Build the MPI and SERIALIZATION libraries

HOWEVER

I am using visual studio 2012

I added the libs and includes for the openmpi

So I MANAGE to compile normal MPI programs and run it using mpiexec I add the libs

libmpi.lib

libmpi_cxx.lib

libopen-pal.lib

libopen-rte.lib

and Define

OMPI_IMPORTS=1
OPAL_IMPORTS=1
ORTE_IMPORTS=1

BUT when I try to compile boost::mpi simplest program

#include <boost/mpi/environment.hpp>

#include <boost/mpi/communicator.hpp>

#include <iostream>

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )

{

boost::mpi::environment env(argc, argv);

boost::mpi::communicator world;

std::cout << "I am process " << world.rank() << " of " << world.size() << "." << std::endl;

return 0;

}

I get the following unresolved external symbol though when inspecting the libmpi.lib I SEE Those METHODS (when using DUMPBIN /SYMBOLS)

How can I solve that?

Maybe I have to recompile the boost::mpi lib differently with some defines???

Please Help me find a solution

Best
