Re: fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_serialization-vc100-mt-1_ 44.lib'

[Alex Zhou]

Hi there,

I had the same link problem with
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_serialization-
vc100-mt-1_44.lib'
and found your post.

I upgraded one of my projects which uses VS2005 and boost1.39 to
VS2010 and boost1.44
and then suddenly got this error.
Of course, I never use the serialization lib in my code.

Did anyone find any solution to this problem?

Currently, I uses a dummy lib file with the name
libboost_serialization-vc100-mt-1_44.lib
and the compilation passes.
But I am really nervous about using this solution.

Thank you.

Alex Zhou

I come into this trouble too. My solution is as follows:

1,download the download the libboost_serialization-vc100-mt-1_44.lib
from internet.
2,put it in some path where the compiler can find it.

It may be a problem w.r.t. boost_1_44. When it test with boost_1_43,
it turns out no problem. So donot worry about this problem.

Goog luck for you.
