Re: How to build boost to get proper boost::regex configuration?

I was experiencing a similar problem with C++Builder 5.  
I got the linker error "Unable to open file 'BCB5RE300L.LIB'"

When I try solution #1, I get a different error:
"Unresolved external 
boost::w32_regex_traits<char>::~w32_regex_traits<char>{}'"

Is there a simple solution? Or should I just try building using the 
makefiles?

Here is the program I try to compile:

#define BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB 
#include <boost/regex.hpp>
bool validate_card_format(const std::string s) {
   static const boost::regex e("(\\d{4}[- ]){3}\\d{4}");
   return regex_match(s, e);
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    return 0;
}
