I want to know how to specify the name of a library I file I want to link against. How do I do this? I wanted to build a library with a static runtime and static libs; it requires linking against a Boost library which I did build with static runtime but when I tried to build it, I had linker errors because the dynamic version of the library was used instead of the static one. I want to somehow make it use the static one. So yeah, how do I do this? Is there a way?

Are you using the FindBoost module?

Yes, I'm using that module. I didn't make any changes to it; it came with the third-party library I'm trying to build.
