Hi

I have built the StlPort 5.1.0 shared dlls and boost 1_33_1 Shared dlls successfully.

The Platform is MSVC8.

I created a sample projeth with just on file with code:

#include <boost/regex.hpp>

bool testregex( const char* StringToMatch )

{

return( boost::regex_match( StringToMatch, boost::regex("[A-Z]+") ));

}

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

            {

bool trial = testregex( "hello how r u ?");

return 1;

            }

Compilation succeeds but I get two Linker errors (BOOST_DYN_LINK is defined)

Main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: bool __thiscall boost::re_detail::perl_matcher<char const *,class stlp_std::allocator<struct boost::sub_match<char const *> >,struct boost::regex_traits<char,class boost::w32_regex_traits<char> > >::match(void)" (?match@?$perl_matcher@PBDV?$allocator@U?$sub_match@PBD@boost@@@stlp_std@@U?$regex_traits@DV?$w32_regex_traits@D@boost@@@boost@@@re_detail@boost@@QAE_NXZ)

So it cannot find the constructor for perl_matcher and the declaration for regex_match.

I found a similar post on Boost : http://www.nabble.com/-regex-Using-regex-in-x64-exe-with-VC-8.0-t2088061.html#a5755051

The suggested solutions on this post are:

1) check for intermixing of x86 and x64 :  I am on 32 bit platform.. so intermixing does not apply

2) add regex source code and compile ( using BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB) : I get the errors for stdext namespace

Can anyone suggest a solution??
