Hi all,

yes, I know, there has been a thread some days ago, but I just 
registered and don't know how to reply to a mail that I don't have.

Anyway, there seems to be a bug in boost 1.34.1 with VC 2005 when using 
directory_iterator.
I used the filesystem before and everything worked fine.
Now (since I use the iterator), I get

1>HD2.obj : error LNK2019: Verweis auf nicht aufgelöstes externes Symbol 
""unsigned int boost::filesystem::detail::not_found_error" 
(?not_found_error_at_detail@filesystem_at_boost@@3IA)" in Funktion ""private: 
unsigned int __thiscall

boost::filesystem::basic_path<class std::basic_string<char,struct 
std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >,struct 
boost::filesystem::path_traits> >::m_init(class 
boost::filesystem::basic_path<class std::basic_string<char,struct 
std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >,struct 
boost::filesystem::path_traits> const &)"

I looked into the filesystem dll with depends and found the function 
there with ordinal 48 (0x30) (in both the debug and the release Version 
for multithreading). Also in the lib, I found it.
Rather strange.
The signatures of the linker and the ones found in the DLL also match.

I used the installer from Boost-Consulting.
In the thread some time ago, a responder claimed, he could compile 
successfully. Maybe he used a self-compiled boost version?
I am going to test that, but maybe somebody has an answer right now?

Best regards,

Rainer Thaden
