The Launchy project is built using VC7 so I had to update the project files to VC8 and that process seemed to go well. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1805445/boost-lib-linker-error-visual-c However, Launchy also uses the Boost 1.33.1 libs and what I have built are the Boost 1.41.0 libs (props to Boost for making the more recent libs much easier to build), so I also updated the project to point to my new Boost libs install. Now I get the following linker error: fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_regex-vc80-mt-sgd-1_41.lib' I had a look in the Boost lib directory and the closest match that I could find is... libboost_regex-vc80-mt-gd-1_41.lib Notice the missing 's'. I don't understand what the difference in libs is, and whether Visual Studio is looking for the wrong thing or my Boost build process failed to build the right libs. Can anybody point me in the right direction? As an experiment, I made a copy of the regex lib that I have and renamed it to what the linker is looking for. That gives me a long list of linker errors about symbols already being defined in msvcrtd.lib, such as the following: error LNK2005: "private: __thiscall type_info::type_info(class type_info const &)" (??0type_info@@AAE@ABV0@@Z) already defined in libcmtd.lib

Join them; it only takes a visual studio minute: Sign up Have I set up boost include and linker paths in Visual Studio correctly? (steps provided) up vote 1 down vote favorite 1 This is what I have done: Download the 1.54 zip file from the boost website Extracted/copied it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Boost Inside Visual Studio I have set the include libraries to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Boost\boost_1_54_0\boost_1_54_0\ (This seems boost visual studio to work fine for getting the compiler to accept the libraries) Now the bit i'm having problems with- linker: Inside Visual Studio I have set the linker include directories to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Boost\boost_1_54_0\boost_1_54_0\libs\ When I compile my project I get: fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_date_time-iw-mt-sgd-1_54.lib' EDIT Have built the boost binaries using the answer below. However I now have these files: libboost_date_time-vc110-1_54.lib libboost_date_time-vc110-gd-1_54.lib libboost_date_time-vc110-mt-1_54.lib libboost_date_time-vc110-mt-gd-1_54.lib libboost_date_time-vc110-mt-s-1_54.lib libboost_date_time-vc110-mt-sgd-1_54.lib libboost_date_time-vc110-s-1_54.lib libboost_date_time-vc110-sgd-1_54.lib but still no 'libboost_date_time-iw-mt-sgd-1_54.lib' EDIT: Think I have found the problem: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2004/08/70114.php OK, here's the problem: originally we had one Intel toolset: "intel-win32" which created the library suffix "iw" (note no version number!), and this is what the auto-link header currently searches for. However people have started adding versioned Intel toolsets, which means that we now produce an ad-hoc mixture of library names, some with compiler-version suffixes and some without, the autolink code could handle either form, but as it's not psychic it can't handle both :-( Solution is to #define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB c++ visual-studio boost share|improve this question edited Nov 5 '13 at 23:19 asked Nov 5 '13 at 19:54 mezamorphic 3,76729

Lee,We regularly build various versions of Boost and forward to them the bugs we find. Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention.Karl Niu (kaniu@microsoft.com)Visual C++ Team Posted by J. J. Lee on 5/4/2015 at 7:41 AM If I add BOOST_OPTIONAL_USE_OLD_DEFINITION_OF_NONE in all the projects, there will not be such a linkage error.Could you guys study boost 1.58 none.hpp and none_t.hpp and give an advice to boost to avoid this problem?Boost expert might need to hear a better suggestion from VC++ expert.There is no problem in boost 1.57, boost changed these two files in boost 1.58. Posted by J. J. Lee on 4/26/2015 at 7:53 AM OK, I can live with it is by design if you really think so.Some details :The test2.zip can be linked successfully under VC++ 2013 with boost 1.57, if you do some minor change in flv\FlvFil.h line 29.The modification is due to VC++ 2013 not supporting C++ 11 member initialization.The test2.zip could not be linked successfully under VC++ 2013 with boost 1.58.You guys did som
