Re: [Boost-Users] How to build boost to get proper boost::regex configuration?

The regex lib isn't set up to link against the jam generated libs (they all
have the same name currently which doesn't help), you can either:

1) Define BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB so that it doesn't try to link against the lib
names it expects.
or
2) Build the regex lib using the supplied makefiles - automatic linking will
work just fine then.
