Hello,

Has anyone successfully compiled the Boost libraries with the Borland / Codegear Turbo C++ Pro, compiler version 5.8.2? 

I was able to build the libraries but I got a lot of errors and a simple Hello World program using boost::thread will not work.

Any help on switches or tweaks I can do to get Boost to work would be appreciated.

Here is the program I am compiling and the error I get when running it. I am linking to the debug version of the multi-threaded DLL (boost_thread-bcb-mt-d-1_36.dll)

The sample program compiles fine but when I run it I get an assertion error and the program terminates.

Any feedback is welcome.

Thank you,
Stephen

my_thread.join();

return 0;
