I'm using Boost 1.39, and I'm getting the following linker errors on MSVC9:

The issues above don't really make any sense. The calling convention,
according to the information above, is __cdecl, and in my project settings
I'm using cdecl as well. I found several posts about this on the mailing
list but no solutions were offered that I could see. How can I resolve these
issues? Note that I am using static libraries.

That's odd. It looks like either BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK or
BOOST_SYSTEM_DYN_LINK is defined.

Thanks Steven, bringing up this point made me double check my preprocessor directives, and sure enough BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK was being defined. It was something that slipped into my CMake scripts by mistake. Thanks a bunch for pointing out this issue for me!
