Have you tried building your app with your own compiled version of boost adding all the flags? i,e. bjam myapp threading=multi link=static runtime-link=shared --toolset="msvc-9.0" It should work. Then I have a question for you. Are you able to build to do cd $(BOOST_ROOT)\libs\filesystem\example bjam first I am not. It does not link. cd $(BOOST_ROOT)\libs\filesystem\example bjam first link=static compiles. On Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 4:54 PM, Ondrej Kuncar wrote:

Hello! I've built the boost library by Visual Studio 2008 Express with these parameters: debug threading=multi link=static runtime-link=shared --toolset="msvc-9.0" install

Unfortunately I got the following linker errors during building my application:

I downloaded compiled libraries from boost-consulting and it works with them. Any idea where is the problem?
