Hi all, I'm using the boost version 1.30 release, on Win2k and the VC7.1 compiler.
I'm porting a big application from Unix to Windows. Because for all the modules within this app I created a VC++ workspace I would like to do the same for the thread library from boost. For this I did the following steps: 1) Create with VC7.1 a "Static library" application without "Precompiled header" 2) Add to this lib the source files (from boost_1_30_0\libs\thread\src): 3) Set the right paths of the project for finding the includes 4) Build the lib My questions/problems are: 1) Are ok the above steps that I have done? Is it ok that I created it as a static lib (this is how I would like to have it)? 2) Are there any preprocessor flags that I have to add to the project? If yes from where can I find out which should I set? 3) I got a lot of warnings like: "xtime.cpp(75) : warning C4273: 'boost::xtime_get' : inconsistent dll linkage". Actually there are 119 warnings like this one (C4273 and C4275). Why do I get these warnings? Is there a way to eliminate them? Should I be worried about them? 4) Actually I'm using the thread lib from boost, just because it seems that it is used by spirit when adding the "SPIRIT_THREADSAFE" flag. Looking a little through the boost source files comments I saw that by default the Windows native threads are used. But the threads created specifically by the application are posix threads so for them I used the pthread-win32 lib. Can I have problems because there will be both types of threads? I hope that somebody can help me on these issues ... Thanks a lot in advance, Viv _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
