Comment(by Arnaud Cheritat <cheritat_at_[hidden]>):

 The command [[BR]]
 bjam --toolset=gcc --with-thread --layout=system stage[[BR]]
 typed in a cmd.exe windows command prompt does not produce
 libboost_thread-mt.a [[BR]]
 Here's what I got in stage\lib:[[BR]]
 boost_thread-mt-d.dll[[BR]]
 boost_thread-mt-d.lib [[BR]]
 boost_thread-mt.dll[[BR]]
 boost_thread-mt.lib[[BR]]
 libboost_thread-mt-d.lib[[BR]]
 libboost_thread-mt-s.lib[[BR]]
 libboost_thread-mt-sd.lib[[BR]]
 libboost_thread-mt.lib[[BR]]
 But g++ won't statically link with .lib files.

 gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw special)[[BR]]
 OS: Windows Vista Family Premium 32bits SP1[[BR]]
 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.
