[Boost-users] Methods prefixed by cdecl?

  Hi,
    I'm using Windows 7 (64 bit) and I'm trying to compile and link my 
code against the regex libraries. It compiles fine, but at link time, it 
can't find any of the methods in the regex library. But the methods it's 
looking for are prefixed by "__cdecl". I've tried compiling my code with 
the /Gd and /Gz options, and neither seemed to work.

Here's what the error looks like:

When I do a dumpbin /symbols on the regex library I built, it does 
contain the methods above (as far as I can tell)
26F 00000000 SECT92 notype ()    External     |

Any ideas on how to get my programs to link against the methods in the 
regex library?

Thanks,
