Re: Building boost 1_31_0 with VC7.1 STLPort 4.6.2 and Python 2.3

The problem with regex DLL link was caused by the STLport 
configuration mess on my computer. Thanks a lot, John.

I'm still puzzeled with the HardLink error and still do not 
understand how can I use the Boost.Build for developing my own 
programs. Will appreciate if somebody helps me with this.
