RE: [boost] thread library won't compile - win32

Tom,

It's not an ideal solution, but you can always create two empty vc6 projects
- a static library (libboost_thread) and an empty .dll project
(libboost_threadmon).  You would then add all of the .cpp files in src
except for threadmon.cpp to the static library, and add threadmon.cpp to the
dynamic library.  I think the default Jamfile uses the Multithreaded DLL
version of Microsoft's C runtime.  Then you can just build the two libs from
the MVC6 IDE.

I've done something similar when experimenting with additions to the
threading library.

Regards,
Dave
