I think this is just a mistake in Gennadiy's build for Win32. On Win32, a DLL (boost_prg_exec_monitor.dll) cannot link to a symbol in an executable, period. To make this work, the user has to supply a DLL containing cpp_main. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
