Is only one possible configuration for building serialization library under msvc? I can link with other libraries, boost_program_options for instance, but not with boost_serialization. {{{ using msvc ; use-project boost : ""C:\\Boost\\boost_1_45_0"" ; exe main : main.cpp /boost/program_options//boost_program_options ; }}} ",Bugs,closed,To Be Determined,serialization,Boost 1.45.0,Problem,wontfix,,
