I followed your procedure for installing boost for VS.NET 2003 (Visual C++ 7.1) as above. I selected *all* variants of the library just to be safe. I also put in #define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK #define BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC at the top of the file, and put the boost lib folder in my PATH and in Additional Library Directories. Right now I'm getting this error: c:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_38\boost\config\auto_link.hpp(297) : fatal error C1189: #error : "Mixing a dll boost library with a static runtime is a really bad idea..." OK, I'm glad to know it's finding the dll boost library, but... what do I do about this error?? I tried googling on it and found some discussion, but it was a bit over my head. Ideally I would prefer using a dll to using a static runtime, but I don't know what to change to stop using a static runtime. Without the two #defines I mentioned above, I get the error example fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc71-sgd-1_38.lib' and indeed that variant of the file does not exist. I have ...-mt-1_38.dll, -mt-1_38.lib, -mt-gd-1_38.dll, and -mt-gd-1_38.lib in my lib folder. Do I have to build the -sgd- variant from source? Even though I used the Boost Consultancy installer and asked for all variants to be installed? Thanks, Lars Hi,

Code generation -> Runtime Library (Multi-thread Debug (/MTd)) If you are going with Multithread Debug, static runtime. Just to be sure. I’d add one thing.

Code generation -> Runtime Library (Multi-thread Debug (/MTd))

If you are going with Multithread Debug, static runtime.

Just to be sure.
