LNK1104 cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc141-mt-sgd-x32-1_69.lib'

Question

I can not find 'libboost_filesystem-vc141-mt-sgd-x32-1_69.lib' of boost (tried building it myself and also downloaded the binaries for vs141 and x32 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.69.0/)

what I have is libboost_filesystem-vc141-mt-gd-x32-1_69.lib from the downloaded binaries and libboost_filesystem-vc141-mt-s-x32-1_69.lib that I built myself

where can I find this file?

thanks

Answer 1

It seems you want the -s in the build. From this, you would use link=static and runtime-link=static. I have not tried that. But I know it will build this version if you --build-type=complete on the b2 command line. And, it is just as well you build your own to keep compiler/SDK version conflicts out of your work.

Lots of information on b2 here.
