Hi !<br><br>I&#39;m trying to find out how to link boost libraries under windows to a visual studio VC++ project (that will be a .dll library).<br><br>Where can I find some information ?!<br></blockquote><div><br>I&#39;ve take that from an old doc, but I assume the flag is still the same. <br>
<br>&quot;If you are linking to a dynamic runtime, then you can choose to link to
  either a static or a dynamic Boost library, the default is to do a 
static
  link.  You can alter this for a specific library <em>whatever</em> by
  defining BOOST_WHATEVER_DYN_LINK to force Boost library <em>whatever</em>
  to be linked dynamically.  Alternatively you can force all Boost
  libraries to dynamic link by defining BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK.&quot;<br>from: <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_33_1/more/getting_started.html">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_33_1/more/getting_started.html</a><br> </div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">I&#39;ve compiled the boost libraries and followed the instruction found at:<br>
<a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/windows.html" target="_blank">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/windows.html</a><br><br>but when I build the project it gives me an error trying to find a libboost_filesystem-vc80-mt-gd-1_41.lib,<br>

but no one libraries build starts with the &#39;lib&#39; prefix ?<br>Why he search for them ?<br></blockquote><div><br>By default (I think it is default) Boost will autolink the static libraries, which are named (on Windows) libboost_something.lib. So you will have to tell Boost it should link to dynamic libraries. (See the quotation above).<br>
