Great suggestion!<br>
<br>
I looked at the debug output as you recommended and discovered that<br>
findboost only searches for filenames that start with "boost" while<br>
all the files in the lib directory start with "libboost"<br>
<br>
I copied and renamed the regex files in the lib directory to start<br>
with "boost" instead and it found the regex library but not the<br>
others. So a possible solution would be to rename all the files in<br>
the folder. This, however, is less than elegant.<br>
<br>
Is this a breaking change in the way the boost library files are<br>
named, a bug in findboost, or did I install boost wrong somehow?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>On Windows, the boost convention is to prefix shared libraries with "boost" and static libraries with "libboost".</div>
