Please zip the complete output next time. 

If this is the complete output, then you are not doing a complete rebuild. 
Boost.Build does not automatically rebuild after changing requierements and 
#defines, so either use "-a" to rebuild everything or manually remove your 
"boost-build" folder.

This is the _static_ library, according to 
<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#library-
naming>

The autolinking magic is incorporated into nearl _every_ object file, so only a 
clean rebuild will resolve this mess. The linker output shows that Boost.Build 
is linking against the shared libraries.

Please read at least the getting started guide and 
<http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/index.html>
if you use Boost.Build on your project.

Yours,

Jürgen
