Comment (by anonymous):

 If you're using Boost as a static lib in a DLL you have to apply the fix
 in the DLLMain
 example:

 {{{#!cpp
 #ifdef WIN32
 #ifndef WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
 #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
 #endif
 #include <Windows.h>
 #include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp>

 static void init_boost () {
   boost::filesystem::path p("dummy");
 };

 BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE /* hModule */,
                        DWORD  ul_reason_for_call,
                        LPVOID /* lpReserved */)
 {
   switch (ul_reason_for_call)
   {
     case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
       init_boost();
       break;
     case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
     case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
     case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
     break;
   }
   return TRUE;
 }
 #endif
 }}}
