When trying to include '#include <boost/regex.hpp>' I get: 1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_regex-vc100-mt-gd-1_39.lib'

Question

Not sure why i get that, I downloaded libs from here and while I have a lib called 'libboost_regex-vc90-mt-gd-1_39.lib I don't have one which is called 'libboost_regex-vc100-mt-gd-1_39.lib', renaming the one with vc90 to vc100 works but I'm not sure if this is the ideal solution?

Answer 1

You are probably using Visual Studio 2010 (this is where vc100 comes from), but the downloaded lib was built with 2008 (vc9)

Visual Studio 2010 comes with TR1, include <regex> and enjoy.
