Ok,

I understand that it should work somehow, so I'm doing something wrong. I've
checked it and I got quite a few virtual abstract functions in my main class
overridden in the derived classes.

I've seen all these demo and test. And the one that comes closer to my
problem is definetly test_plugin_dll.cpp Unfortunaltly it is commented in
the Jam file and when I uncommented the line, it won't compile.
How can I compile it ?
Thanks for your help,

Jean-Charles
