CGAL users discussion list

Hello,

I'd like to compile CGAL into a static library for use in a dynamic 
library we're distributing (we have a commercial license for this), but 
I'm having some trouble getting it to link. I can generate the static 
versions of the CGAL libraries fine (by unsetting BUILD_SHARED_LIBS in 
Cmake). When I try to build a static library or an .exe using them, 
everything is great, but when I try to build them into a .dll I get the 
following link errors:

libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_47.lib(thread.obj) : error LNK2005: "void 
__cdecl boost::detail::free_raw_heap_memory(void *)"

This happens in release builds as well. Am I wrong that it should work? 
If not, how can I get it to work?

Thank you,
