help building boost with V2

Hi,

I am trying to learn how to use boost build V2. Am I correct in 
thinking that it is not worthwhile to learn V1?

I have boost 1.30.2 and the latest Boost build release (3.01.07) and 
am using MSVC 7.1.

Here are two issues I ran into (following the directions in the V2 
manual), but solved after much digging:

1) to get anything to build in boost, it is not enough to set 
BOOST_BUILD_PATH, you have to put all of the latest boost-build 
files in $(BOOST_ROOT)/tools/build, after which BOOST_BUILD_PATH is 
unnecessary anyway

2) The boost-build.jam file that comes with boost 1.30.2 is wrong. 
Line 12 that reads:

boost-build tools/build/new ;

should be:

boost-build tools/build/kernel ;

After taking care of those two issues, I can get most of boost to 
build. I can't, however, get Boost.Thread to build. First I get a 
lot of warnings that look like:

..\src\tss.cpp(155) : warning C4273: 'boost::detail::tss::tss' : 
inconsistent dll linkage

and

tss.obj : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol ?? 
thread_resource_error_at_boost @@QAE_at_XZ (public: __thiscall 
boost::thread_resource_error::thread_resource_error (void)) imported

and

condition.obj : warning LNK4217: locally defined symbol ?? 
0thread_resource_error @boost@@QAE_at_XZ (public: __thiscall 
boost::thread_resource_error::thread_resource _error(void)) imported 
in function "public: __thiscall 
boost::detail::condition_impl::condition_impl(void)"(??
0condition_impl_at_detail@boost@@QAE_at_XZ)

Then, I get linker errors like:

tss.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: 
__thiscall boost::thread_resource_error::thread_resource_error 
(class boost::thread_resource_error const &)" (??
thread_resource_error_at_boost@@QAE_at_ABV01@@Z)

and

condition.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: 
__thiscall boost::thread_resource_error::thread_resource_error(class 
boost::thread_resource_error const &)" (??
0thread_resource_error_at_boost@@QAE_at_ABV01@@Z)

If I specify link=static I get the warnings but not the errors. I'm 
sure I just missed something simple. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance and I think V2 looks great!
