Don't you need to link with static library? Can you try using single header variants?

I am trying to use the static library, because I was under the impression that the feature in this variant would be more complete than others. With VC++ I do not have to explicitly specify the static file name in the command line if it's what you mean. And if this is the problem, the error would be like LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_unit_test_framework-vc110-mt-s-1_50.lib' I had a re-read of the single header variant documentation. Seems I can just switch to it. But it still seems strange that the static variant works with VC10 but not VC11.
