[Boost-users] [Serialization] Linking Error in the Latest CVS

Hi all,

I posted a question regarding usage of BJam V2 in building the latest
Boost checked out from the CVS
(http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2007/02/25201.php). But there seems
to be no interest in explaining that at all so far.

But I've sort of worked out most of the solution so far (though mostly
hacking around in the .jam files, which I suppose could have been done a
lot easier by someone more familiar with the building system). Still I
failed to build the Boost.Serialization library out-of-box.

> My system: Windows XP Pro SP2
> Compiler: MSVC 7.1

The errors I met was something like this:

=====snip=====

I tried
dumpbin /all
bin.v2\libs\serialization\...\boost_serialization-vc71-mt-p-1_35.lib

And indeed, it seems that codecvt_null object's methods were missing
from the library. Any hints on how I can fix this problem?

Cheers,

Freddie
