[Boost-users] [filesystem] Link issues with vc80

Hello,

I have built Boost 1.34 using the msvc toolkit (vc80) and I am now
trying to compile a small test app that uses the filesystem library.
The test app source is attached to this mail. The compile itself works
just fine and linking to the static version of the filesystem lib
works fine as well:

$ cl -nologo -EHsc -MDd fst.cpp libboost_filesystem-vc80-mt-gd.lib
fst.cpp

However, linking to the import library of the shared filesystem
library produces an error:

$ cl -nologo -EHsc -MDd fst.cpp boost_filesystem-vc80-mt-gd.lib
fst.cpp
fst.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "unsigned int
boost::filesystem::detail::not_found_error"

fst.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

Is this a setup issue or a problem with filesystem?

Thanks,
Daniel Andersson
