boost install and library linking

I have a general question about finnishing the install process for 
boost.  I have built boost on Cygwin/Gcc3.x/winXP and now have many 
versions of various libraries in a deep directory tree.  Now, 
suppose I want to compile something, say random_test.cpp from

http://www.boost.org/libs/random/index.html

I get the following compiler error

/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/aspeight/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccQGyqEq.o
(.text$_Z8validateIN5boost6rand48EEvRKSsRKT_+0x103):random_test.cpp: 
undefined reference to 
`boost::test_toolbox::detail::test_and_continue_impl(bool, 
boost::test_toolbox::detail::wrapstrstream const&, char const*, int, 
bool, boost::unit_test_framework::report_level)'

Clearly, I need to link to one of the boost::test library.  How 
should I be linking to this library?  All libraries that were built 
have a .lib extention and are spread over a huge directory 
structure.  How can I tell which library I need?

Is there a way to finnish the build process so that all of the 
statically-linked debug libraries are in one place?  If somebody 
would send me a make file or let me know what is a good approach to 
building applications with boost, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Adam
