Re: [Boost-users] [-s- lib versions][vc80] new user Q: what's thedifference between lib*vc80-mt-1_33_1.lib andlib*vc80-mt-s-1_33_1.lib

The -s- means that the library links against the static runtime.  Non-s
means that the library should link against the dynamic runtime (found in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\redist\<your
platform>\Microsoft.VC80.CRT)

Hi
I'm a new boost user.
I downloaded the pre-built Visual Studio 2005/vc80 version of boost from

http://www.boost-consulting.com/products/free and read the instructions
at 
http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html , specifically the
section on 
library runtimes.

I have a question; In the context of vc80, and for components which have

libraries,  what's the difference between -s- and non-s static libs,
e.g. 
for 'thread'

libboost_thread-vc80-mt-1_33_1.lib
-rw-r--r-- 1 John None 845330 Mar 25 2006 
libboost_thread-vc80-mt-s-1_33_1.lib

thanks in advance
John McMahon
