[Dev-C++] boost

[Mayorga, A. C. N. N. N. <arm...@na...>]

Hello all,

Just started using DEV-C++ and download the via the DEV-C++ package
manager boost, I have need to use the boost regex=20
Functions, so upon inspection I have only the library
"libboost_regex-mgw-mt-s-1_33_1.lib" to link against and I do link
against it using Project->Project Options->Parameters then adding -l
"C:\Dev-Cpp\lib\libboost_regex-mgw-mt-s-1_33_1.lib" but still getting
linker error "no matching function found for call "regex_search.....".
Could someone PLEASE show me how to link properly against this library I
have been at this for over a week now

Thank you in advance,

AJ

The -l linker-option surrounds the given file-name with `lib' and `.a',
so it will not find anything. Omit the "-l" and it should work. For me,
here, it works that way.

Hope it helps
