Hi,
Some of the Boost.DLL tests produce following warnings:

Andrey, Vicente what's the best way to resolve such issues?
IMO, Boost.Thread needs to be ported to Boost.WinAPI. boost/thread/win32/thread_primitives.hpp declares extern "C" functions in its own namespace, while Windows SDK and Boost.WinAPI declare them in the global namespace. This is forbidden by the standard since the functions are considered distinct by the language but mangle to the same name. As an immediate solution you could define BOOST_USE_WINDOWS_H when building your code. Both libraries should use Windows SDK directly then.
