Well, the difficulty lies in the fact that the libs are spread over different directories. It may be that I simply have to add a directory for each lib...
Dave - how did you build the libs? I find that if you use bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" stage or bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" install then the libraries are gathered into a single directory. The way I incorporate Boost into VC7.1 projects is to use the Visual Studio add-in @ http://www.workspacewhiz.com/OtherAddins.html#SolutionBuildEnvironment to let me define per-solution environment variables, then use those to specify extra include directories and library directories in the project properties. This allows machine independence (for example, if I work on something at home and at work, where my library paths are different) and also allows me to use different versions of libraries (not just Boost - things like libxml2 or libxslt as well) in different solutions.
