is i like to have free cross platform network/thread/xml static lib

Question

what the best c++ libs that are simple to use and have no problems to compile in the windows express vs 2008 compilers ? is it best to use different libs for each purpose or to use one generic lib ?

Regarding the _static_ bit. Many C++ libraries (especially the cross-platforms ones) are offered as source tarballs so you get to choose if they are static or not when you compile them. — Alex Jasmin, Mar 09 '10 at 08:18

Boost has ~~all~~ two of those.

It's free, it's an industry standard, very robust, thoroughly tested, and simple to use.

For XML, many people use TinyXML.

(edit: I lied, thought Boost had XML for some reason...)

I'd use Boost for network & threading. And xerses for parsing XML. Check this question also.

POCO has all of it. And it's easy to use as well.
