Everything worked fine. Now I need a STLPort 5.0. I have installed Stlport 5.0 and built them. Afterwards I have rebuilt the boost with STLport 5.0 using following commands: set STLPORT_PATH=""some_real_patch_to_stl"" set STLPORT_VERSION=5.0 bjam -a ""-sTOOLS=vc-7_1-stlport"" ""-sBUILD=debug release"" stage After the build I have noticed that boost::program_options failed to build for dynamic target. I have tried to rebuilt dynamic configuration with following command: bjam ""-sTOOLS=vc-7_1-stlport"" ""-sBUILD=debug release dynamic"" stage In the output following error message has been printed: ////////////////////////////////////////// D:\TMP\SDK\boost_1_33_1\boost\program_options\variables_map.hpp(142) : s ee reference to class template instantiation 'stlpd_std::map<_Key,_Tp>' being co mpiled with [ _Key=stlpd_std::string, _Tp=boost::program_options::variable_value ] ""cl"" /Zm800 -nologo /EHsc -c -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK=1 -D_STLP_DEBUG=1 -D_STLP_DEBUG_UNINITIALIZED=1 -D_STLP_USE_DYNAMIC_LIB=1 /Z7 /Od /Ob0 /EHsc /GR /MDd /Op /wd4675 /Zc:forScope -I""bin\boost\libs\program_options\build"" -I""D:\TMP\SDK\boo st_1_33_1"" -I""D:/TMP/SDK/\STLport-5.0\stlport"" -I""D:\TMP\SDK\boost_1_33_1"" -Fo"" bin\boost\libs\program_options\build\boost_program_options.dll\vc-7_1-stlport\debug\threading-multi\variables_map.obj"" -Tp""D:\TMP\SDK\boost_1_33_1\libs\program_options\build\../src/variables_map.cpp"" vc-C++ bin\boost\libs\program_options\build\boost_program_options.dll\vc-7_1-stlport\release\threading-multi\variables_map.obj variables_map.cpp D:/TMP\SDK\\STLport-5.0\stlport\stl\_tree.h(594) : error C2664: 'bool stlp_std::less<_Tp>::operator ()(const _Tp &,const _Tp &) const' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'stlp_std::map<_Key,_Tp>::value_type' to 'const stlp_std::string &' with [ _Tp=stlp_std::string ] and [ _Key=stlp_std::string, _Tp=boost::program_options::variable_value ] Reason: cannot convert from 'stlp_std::map<_Key,_Tp>::value_type' to 'co nst stlp_std::string' with [ _Key=stlp_std::string, _Tp=boost::program_options::variable_value ] No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous //////////End of output The dir tree now looks like: Directory of D:\TMP\SDK\boost_1_33_1\bin\boost\libs\program_options\build\boost_program_options.dll\vc-7_1-stlport\release\threading-multi 30.03.2009 15:25 . 30.03.2009 15:25 .. 03.04.2009 01:26 404 113 cmdline.obj 03.04.2009 01:26 196 909 config_file.obj 03.04.2009 01:26 54 873 convert.obj 03.04.2009 01:26 402 844 options_description.obj 03.04.2009 01:26 488 046 parsers.obj 03.04.2009 01:26 54 994 positional_options.obj 03.04.2009 01:26 11 774 utf8_codecvt_facet.obj 03.04.2009 01:26 237 871 value_semantic.obj 03.04.2009 01:26 282 664 winmain.obj 9 File(s) 2 134 088 bytes 2 Dir(s) 102 982 483 968 bytes free Please note that the same code has been succesfully compiled for static target: Directory of D:\TMP\SDK\boost_1_33_1\bin\boost\libs\program_options\build\libbo ost_program_options.lib\vc-7_1-stlport\release\threading-multi 03.04.2009 02:46 . 03.04.2009 02:46 .. 03.04.2009 01:25 288 214 cmdline.obj 03.04.2009 01:25 150 139 config_file.obj 03.04.2009 01:25 51 023 convert.obj 03.04.2009 02:46 1 251 libboost_program_options-vc71-mt-p-1_33_1.CMD 03.04.2009 02:46 2 293 986 libboost_program_options-vc71-mt-p-1_33_1.lib 03.04.2009 01:25 258 530 options_description.obj 03.04.2009 01:25 329 811 parsers.obj 03.04.2009 01:25 44 159 positional_options.obj 03.04.2009 01:25 4 836 utf8_codecvt_facet.obj 03.04.2009 01:25 181 627 value_semantic.obj 03.04.2009 02:46 145 073 variables_map.obj 03.04.2009 01:25 84 840 winmain.obj 12 File(s) 3 833 489 bytes 2 Dir(s) 102 982 483 968 bytes free I have tried to update the boost::program_options library from trunk of Boost SVN but the problem is still here.
