Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] Trouble with Boost.Trunk+Windows 2008 Express

[Kim G. <kim...@gm...>]

Hi Dean,

I've been struggling with that exact setup myself. I think I had it
sorted at one point, but now I can't get it to build again.

The problem here is that the tests fail to link with Boost.Test, and
it doesn't seem to want to build it via the stated dependency.

Currently it wants to link with
'libboost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-gd-1_36.lib', and building
Boost.Test yields 'boost_unit_test_framework-vc90-gd-1_38.lib'

There's something funny about Boost.Test, especially together with
Boost.Build, and I can't quite sort it out...
