I finally compiled the whole thing (by enabling wchar_t builtin support...) and I ran into the same problem I had before: when I try to USE the regex class in my code I get the following 2 linker errors: html to mhtml.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall boost::reg_expression<char,class boost::regex_traits<char>,class _STL::allocator<char> >::reg_expression<char,class boost::regex_traits<char>,class _STL::allocator<char> >(char const *,unsigned int,class _STL::allocator<char> const &)" (??0?$reg_expression@DV?$regex_traits@D@boost@@V?$allocator@D@_STL@@@boost@@ QAE@PBDIABV?$allocator@D@_STL@@@Z) referenced in function "public: __thiscall boost::basic_regex<char,class boost::regex_traits<char>,class _STL::allocator<char> >::basic_regex<char,class boost::regex_traits<char>,class _STL::allocator<char> >(char const *,unsigned int,class _STL::allocator<char> const &)" (??0?$basic_regex@DV?$regex_traits@D@boost@@V?$allocator@D@_STL@@@boost@@QAE @PBDIABV?$allocator@D@_STL@@@Z) html to mhtml.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall boost::reg_expression<char,class boost::regex_traits<char>,class _STL::allocator<char> >::~reg_expression<char,class boost::regex_traits<char>,class _STL::allocator<char> >(void)" (??1?$reg_expression@DV?$regex_traits@D@boost@@V?$allocator@D@_STL@@@boost@@ QAE@XZ) referenced in function "public: __thiscall boost::basic_regex<char,class boost::regex_traits<char>,class _STL::allocator<char> >::~basic_regex<char,class boost::regex_traits<char>,class _STL::allocator<char> >(void)" (??1?$basic_regex@DV?$regex_traits@D@boost@@V?$allocator@D@_STL@@@boost@@QAE @XZ) Do I have to link manually to something? I thought that's already done in the headers... (and I'm still curious as to how one should build boost in vc7.1 with stlport. Maybe someone should make a faq or something...) ---------------------------------- Peace and love, Tweety mitea@sympatico.ca - tweety_04_01@users.sourceforge.net YahooID: tweety_04_01

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...
I think this is a problem with mis-matched /Zc:wchar_t options - Boost is normally built with that flag on, while STLPort is normally built with it off. Depending on how you intend to build your own code, either rebuild STLPort with /Zc:wchar_t or use:
bjam -sTOOLS=vc7.1-stlport -sBUILD="<native-wchar_t>off"
In fact this is the default setting, and having double checked it works for me without having to mess with the BUILD variable, have you changed something else somewhere? I can reproduce the makefile problem though, I'll get that fixed.
John.
