How can I build thrift as a C++ dynamic library using Visual Studio Solution, which links dynamically to other libraries (Boost, STL etc..)
For example, on a debug build, I've tried changing the project properties: - Configuration Properties -> General -> Configuration Type = Dynamic Library (.dll) - Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library = Multi-threaded DLL (/MDd) And have disabled the BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB and BOOST_THREAD_NO_LIB defines in windows/force_in.h But the build fails with: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_52.lib' Which makes no sense, as 'libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_52.lib' is the static library! If I add define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK in windows/force_in.h, the error I get instead is: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'boost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_52.lib' Which I believe is the correct library to link to and it definitely exists. It also emits C4251 warnings, such as: boost\thread\win32\thread_data.hpp(99): warning C4251: 'boost::detail::thread_data_base::notify' : class 'std::vector<_Ty>' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of struct 'boost::detail::thread_data_base' Any help or pointers would be very much appreciated. Thanks Chris
