There are 2 tutorials, but they don't address this issue.

The best documentation regarding your problem I found is 
http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html#Results

You have to go to Boost root and run the following command to build the 
library:

bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 --with-filesystem -sBUILD="<runtime-link>static 
<runtime-threading>single debug" install

If you don't have bjam.exe you can compile it yourself by running 
build.bat or download a precompiled version from Boost Sourceforge 
download page 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/boost/boost-jam-3.1.11-1-ntx86.zip?download

BTW Boost 1.33 was released recently, so you'd better try 1.33.
