[Boost-users] FW: Linker errors when using regex Lib with MSVC8 and STLPort 5.1.0 and Boost 1_33_1

Hi

I have built the StlPort 5.1.0 shared dlls and boost 1_33_1 Shared dlls
successfully.

The Platform is MSVC8.

I created a sample projeth with just on file with code: 

#include <boost/regex.hpp>

 

bool testregex( const char* StringToMatch )

{

        return( boost::regex_match( StringToMatch,
boost::regex("[A-Z]+") ));

}

 

int main (int argc, char *argv[])

            {

                  bool trial = testregex( "hello how r u ?");

                  return 1;

            }

 

 

Compilation succeeds but I get two Linker errors (BOOST_DYN_LINK is
defined)

 

Main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: bool
__thiscall boost::re_detail::perl_matcher<char const *,class

So it cannot find the constructor for perl_matcher and the declaration
for regex_match.

 

I found a similar post on Boost :
http://www.nabble.com/-regex-Using-regex-in-x64-exe-with-VC-8.0-t2088061
.html#a5755051

 

The suggested solutions on this post are:

1)       check for intermixing of x86 and x64 :  I am on 32 bit
platform.. so intermixing does not apply

2)       add regex source code and compile ( using BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB) :
I get the errors for stdext namespace

Can anyone suggest a solution??
