Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0                                   |   Component:  thread  
  Version:  Boost 1.35.0                                   |    Severity:  Problem 
 Keywords:  installation                                   |  
-----------------------------------------------------------+----------------
 The command
 bjam --toolset=gcc --with-thread --layout=system stage
 typed in a cmd.exe windows command prompt
 does not produce libboost_thread-mt.a
 Here's what I got in stage\lib:
 boost_thread-mt-d.dll
 boost_thread-mt-d.lib
 boost_thread-mt.dll
 boost_thread-mt.lib
 libboost_thread-mt-d.lib
 libboost_thread-mt-s.lib
 libboost_thread-mt-sd.lib
 libboost_thread-mt.lib
 But g++ won't statically link with .lib files.

 gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw special)
 OS: Windows Vista Family Premium 32bits SP1
 Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+, but you probably don't care.

 I followed the instruction from the windows install boost webpage...

 Thanks for your attention.
