------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 I compile boost-1.48 with GCC 4.6.1 using MinGW-32 3.10 on Windows XP.
 I confirm the last comment of '''WFrane''' in ticket #4614 :


 > @gtoknu: This may be too late for you, but adding '''#define
 BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB''' before the include statements for the boost
 headers worked for me. I also recompiled the boost libraries after
 modifying config.hpp in the manner indicated by koradlow in comment 5, but
 I'm not certain that doing so is necessary.


 I built BOOST libraries as static ones.

 Nevertheless I have to explicitly add '''-DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB''' to my
 project makefile to avoid a lot of warnings like :
 {{{
 boost-1.48/thread/win32/thread_heap_alloc.hpp:59:40: warning: inline
 function 'void* boost::detail::allocate_raw_heap_memory(unsigned int)'
 declared as  dllimport: attribute ignored [-Wattributes]
 boost-1.48/thread/win32/thread_heap_alloc.hpp:69:39: warning: inline
 function 'void boost::detail::free_raw_heap_memory(void*)' declared as
 dllimport: attribute ignored [-Wattributes]
 }}}
