hey there...

I recently downloaded, built, and installed Boost 1.32.

I am attempting to use the Boost Unit Test Framework but am running
into difficulties figuring out which lib to link to.

I am compiling with MS VC++ 7.1.  The headers appear to be discovered
as they should be, but the linker is failing
to find the correct lib.  I have tried many of the libs which were
created by the build, but these all create more errors
(typically to do with redefinitions of std:: functions).  At this
point I am only trying to compile the example code
supplied on the projects web site.

some of the libs I tried:

libboost_prg_exec_monitor-vc71-mt-1_32.lib
libboost_test_exec_monitor-vc71-mt-1_32.lib
libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-mt-1_32.lib

some articles I found online advised turning on mutithreading in the
compiler properities, enabling run time type identification, and
setting exceptions to /EHa

I've done all of this but nothing is working, it really just looks
like a linker problem.

Thanks for any help
Dave
