You need to find that file after you've built boost. Find it, and copy it into your compiler's "lib" directory.
Okay, good night.
I knew there had to be a binary version out there somewhere . . . :)
I assume this is a .lib file, and not a directory.
Well, vc90 probably refers to the 9.0 version of visual studio (which I believe = 2008), while vc80 would refer to the 8.0 version (=2005), so that's a mismatch of some kind there. And did you build the regex portion of boost?
This thing is giving me a headache, am about to lose it!!! Why does C++ becomes this difficult ... I downloaded the files indicated in the begging of this thread .. I don't know HOW TO configure this boost thingy!!! :mad:
I ran the build.bat which created a bjam.exe file .. Then i copied the file to the boost 1.36 root folder ... Ran bjam.exe from there ... Took about 15-20min to finish compiling ... So, maybe in that process, it created a VC90 ver instead of VC80 .. i don't know really
[EDIT] I have VS2005 standard & 2008 Express installed (free edition) [/EDIT]
Did you read the getting started for windows document here? In particular, it says how to choose which compiler/version to use, and how to make sure boost.regex is built, and how to test it, etc.
There is an installer. I have posted the link.
As for Linux, it's as easy to install as any other package. Just use your distro's package manager.
It's peculiar how you keep griping about Linux and cross platform programs' installers, when in my experience Linux works far better in this regard.
Shrug. Only bad experiences from my side.
And I have witnessed confusion and headaches typically arriving from non-Windows only distributions. Although, of course, not ALWAYS.
this http://www.nabble.com/Boost.Regex-1....d19036160.html is a problem i get after 5 hours of building ... Now i have to fix it!!!
Five hours of building? Holy cow, are you building on a 8086? :)
Did you notice they said this appeared to be the result of not having VS2005 SP1 installed? Maybe you need to install that?
It compiles on VC9 too, if I'm not mistaken.
PLUS there are already finished libraries - and an installer, as CornedBee kindly pointed out!
