The usual and easiest fix is to: </p> <ul><li>Create a static lib or dll project for the regex source in Your IDE and add all of libs/regex/src/*.cpp to it. Build using the same options as your executable. </li><li>Add the define BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB to your applications project settings. </li><li>Add the lib/dll project as a dependency and rebuild. </li></ul><p> HTH, John. </p> Ticket
