The reason is that the function string_compare in header boost/regex/detail/regex_match.hpp (only defined for Rouge Wave) is not declared inline. I have added the keyword inline to each function to make it work (see paste below) #ifndef _RWSTD_VER # define STR_COMP(s,p) s.compare (p) #else template inline int string_compare(const std::basic_string& s, const C* p) { return s.compare (p); } inline int string_compare(const std::string& s, const char* p) { return std::strcmp(s.c_str(), p); } inline int string_compare(const std::wstring& s, const wchar_t* p) { return std::wcscmp(s.c_str(), p); } # define STR_COMP(s,p) string_compare (s,p) #endif }}}" Bugs closed regex None Fixed
