because examples link dynamically libboost_context - you can add the
directory containing the libs to your search path or you update to boost-trunk (changed to link statically)
I have tried with boost trunk, the result is the same, nothing links, (except echo_client.exe). After analysis of the logs I think the problem is that the build system can't detect my system properties properly: next alternative: required properties: <abi>ms <address-model>32 <architecture>x86 <binary-format>pe <target-os>windows not matched My system may have two catches: first the OS is in chinese and I have a 32 bit OS with a 64 bit CPU. I am using MSVC 10 express edition. I'll try to dig in the build system to see if I can find how the matching is done. Julien
