 The source code compiled when building the library defines a macros BOOST_THREAD_SOURCE that is used to import or export it. The user must not define this macro in any case. 
 
+Boost.Thread depends on some non header-only libraries. 
+
+* Boost.System: This dependency is mandatory and you will need to link with the library.
+
+* Boost.Chrono: This dependency is optional (see below how to configure) and you will need to link with the library if you use some of the time related interfaces.
+
+* Boost.DateTime: This dependency is mandatory, but even if Boost.DateTime is a non header-only library Boost.Thread uses only parts that are header-only, so in principle you should not need to link with the library. 
+
+It seems that there are some IDE (as e.g. Visual Studio) that deduce the libraries that a program needs to link to inspecting the sources. Such IDE could force to link to Boost.DateTime and/or Boost.Chrono.
+
+As the single mandatory dependency is to Boost.System, the following
+
+  bjam toolset=msvc-11.0 --build-type=complete --with-thread 
+
+will install only boost_thread and boost_system. 
+
+Users of such IDE should force the Boost.Chrono and Boost.DateTime build using 
+
+  bjam toolset=msvc-11.0 --build-type=complete --with-thread --with-chrono --with-date_time 
+

 The following section describes all the macros used to configure Boost.Thread.
