i first compiled (succesfully) stlport 4.6.2. then i ran "bjam "-sTOOLS=vc7.1-stlport" install" and it failed compiling the regex library. then i manually went to the libs\regex\build folder and ran "nmake /f vc7.1-stlport clean install" and it compiled the first thing ok and the 2nd time around threw a LOT of linker errors (well, only ~49, but they're stl-style-long :D). I set correctly the STLPORT_VERSION and the STLPORT_PATH env vars, the tools were loaded ok, the INCLUDE env var had stlport's include dir first... AND IT COMPILED OK the first one... here's a screenshot of the last page of errors. please help me... winstances.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport ) public: __thiscall _STL::basic_string<wchar_t,class _STL::char_traits<wchar_t> ,class _STL::allocator<wchar_t> >::basic_string<wchar_t,class _STL::char_traits< wchar_t>,class _STL::allocator<wchar_t> >(wchar_t const *,unsigned int,class _ST L::allocator<wchar_t> const &)" (__imp_??0?$basic_string@_WV?$char_traits@_W@_ST L@@V?$allocator@_W@2@@_STL@@QAE@PB_WIABV?$allocator@_W@1@@Z) referenced in funct ion "public: class _STL::basic_string<wchar_t,class _STL::char_traits<wchar_t>,c lass _STL::allocator<wchar_t> > __fastcall boost::reg_expression<wchar_t,class b oost::regex_traits<wchar_t>,class _STL::allocator<wchar_t> >::str(void)const " ( ?str@?$reg_expression@_WV?$regex_traits@_W@boost@@V?$allocator@_W@_STL@@@boo st@@ QBI?AV?$basic_string@_WV?$char_traits@_W@_STL@@V?$allocator@_W@2@@_STL@@XZ) winstances.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport ) public: int __thiscall _STL::basic_string<wchar_t,class _STL::char_traits<wcha r_t>,class _STL::allocator<wchar_t> >::compare(class _STL::basic_string<wchar_t, class _STL::char_traits<wchar_t>,class _STL::allocator<wchar_t> > const &)const " (__imp_?compare@?$basic_string@_WV?$char_traits@_W@_STL@@V?$allocator@_W@2@@ _S TL@@QBEHABV12@@Z) referenced in function "public: int __fastcall boost::reg_expr ession<wchar_t,class boost::regex_traits<wchar_t>,class _STL::allocator<wchar_t>
