Comment (by WFrane):

 Replying to [comment:9 anthonyw]:
 > Static linking seems to work fine now #4258 is fixed.

 It appears that adding
 '''#define BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB'''
 before other boost thread-related preprocessor directives is still
 required for static linking when using MinGW (tested using Boost 1.45.0
 and MinGW 4.4.1).

 @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.
