Missing boost libs when building spring with vc7

I#m missing the following libs when trying to build latest svn version (debug, no debug or final release):

id downloaded vc8libs, it seems those files are missing somehow (or ist it my fault?)

libboost_thread-vc71-mt-1_33_1.lib

It's called vc8libs for a reason

VC7.1 needs http://spring.clan-sy.com/dl/spring-vclibs.exe

lol ok that makes sense. but the file from link you posted doesnt contain the correct version

libboost_thread-vc71-mt-gd-1_33.lib instead of libboost_thread-vc71-mt-gd-1_33_1.lib

just renaming the files wont work (i tried :) )

Hm I should have updated those a long time ago... Unfortunately I can't upload a new one until sunday though, so you'll have to wait a few days.

how do all the other ppl build spring then?!

I'm building with VC71 as well and have no troubles with libboost_thread-vc71-mt-1_33.lib

which svn version dou use? the latest one?

is it possible to tell the linker to use an older version?

I'm using the latest svn. You did extract those libs right into trunk did you? Actually there shouldn't be any trouble building. My VC7 version is unpatched btw (because I kinda lost my dvd), not sure if that'd change anything.

It├é┬┤s no problem as long as the boost headers have the same version as the boost libs. In this case both should be 1.33

I'm using VC7. The only problem I've had with boost is needing to change the boost lib directory in the project, adding a subdirectory.

I had to add some global include dirs when compiling NTAI, I'm pretty sure I added boost as well there. Maybe that's why I had no troubles with building spring.
