[Boost-users] Newbie Question: Boost Regex

From: admin_at_[hidden]

Hi, I have a newbie question here.  I'm trying to use the Boost regex in
an application, but I keep getting strange errors.  How can I compile the
regex code into a DLL or LIB that I can link to from my app -- I'm looking
for the path of least resistance here.  The version is 1.33.1, the
platform is VC++ 7.1.  The most recent error is the following:

Any feedback is appreciated.  Thanks!
