newbie trying to make a dll

This is my very first experience with Boost.  I am actually trying to 
use the SDTS++ libraries (if anyone is familiar with them) which use 
Boost.

Anyway, I successfully built the library using the Jamfile that was 
included with the download which looks something like this:

lib sdtsxx : ...
                : <include>$(BOOST_ROOT)
                <include>$(TOP)
                <include>.
                <include>$(TOP)/Windows # to get bogus "unistd.h"
                <rtti>on
                <exception-handling>on
                <msvc><*><cflags>-TP    # force to compile as C++
                <gcc><*><cflags>"-x c++"  # force to compile as C++
                <gcc><*><define>VECTOR_ITERATOR_POINTER_NOT_EQUIVALENT
                : debug release
                ;

However, what I need is for the library to be a dll.  So I changed 
the Jamfile to look something like this:

SOURCES = ...;
dll sdtsxx : $(SOURCES)
           : <include>$(BOOST_ROOT)
                <include>$(TOP)
                <include>.
                <include>$(TOP)/Windows # to get bogus "unistd.h"
                <rtti>on
                <exception-handling>on
                <msvc><*><cflags>-TP    # force to compile as C++
                <gcc><*><cflags>"-x c++"  # force to compile as C++
                <gcc><*><define>VECTOR_ITERATOR_POINTER_NOT_EQUIVALENT
                : debug release
                ;

Unfortunately this gives me linking errors like this:

sb_Accessor.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: 
class boost::filesystem::path __thiscall 
boost::filesystem::path::branch_path(void)const "(?
branch_path_at_path@filesystem_at_boost@@QBE?AV123_at_XZ)

Now I don't know that this is a Boost problem or if I should go to 
the SDTS people.  Since the unresolved externals are from the Boost 
libraries I figured it was a Boost issue.  So am I doing something 
wrong with the Jamfile, or is there a problem with Boost?  Or is it 
something completely different?

Oh, I'm using msvc on an XP machine, if that matters...
