[boost] Autolinking not working in Windows x64 cross-compile environment

Subject: [boost] Autolinking not working in Windows x64 cross-compile environment

All:

I have taken the Boost 1.33.1 distribution [we have to stay with this for consistency with our Linux build...], along with the extra information here ( http://en.allexperts.com/q/C-1040/Building-boost-libraries-64.htm ) and been able to generate the Boost libraries using the X64 compiler on a machine running Windows XP Pro 64.

I have taken the compiled libraries and copied them to our 32-bit XP Pro build machine for use in an X64 cross-compile environment.  [We working on setting up a native X64 build machine, but it is a work in progress....]

When I try to link, I get the list of unresolved symbols below.  We use a command-line tool to do our builds, which calls "cl", "lib", "mt", and "link" directly.  If I modify the link file passed to "link" such that it adds "s:\....\libboost_thread-vc80-mt-1_33_1.lib [which is the one dumpbin shows our object wants....], our DLL (omega_runtime) will link successfully.

So, to my untrained eye [I'm new to building on Windows....] it looks like there is something wrong with the autolink magic.

During the compilation, we do have "/DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK" set.  Adding "/DBOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL" doesn't change anything.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me on why this might be the case, or how to track it down?  I have added the lib directory to both LIB and LIBPATH but that doesn't appear to change the situation.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Dave
