Re: [boost] filesystem lib & linking (MSVC.NET)

It sounds like you are having runtime library conflicts.  Everything you 
compile with should use the same runtime library.  For example if you 
compiled the lib with static link multithreaded, then don't use dynamic 
link multithreaded, etc.

Sometimes you can get around it with the /NODEFAULTLIB but for me at 
least sometimes it doesn't work.  Since I have the source code to all of 
my libraries I use I recompile for the target runtime.  Maybe there is a 
way around it (esp if companies distribute only binaries), but I've been 
able to link against the same runtime, every time, so it's probably 
easier and safer that way.
