[Boost-users] [Win32 VC70 Linking] Hard coding library name for the final linking ('libboost_filesystem-vc7-mt-s-1_33_1.lib' ...)?

Hi, All,

I have a weired problem in linking libtorrent dll with my application. 
The libtorrent depends on 3 boost projects.

This is what I got:
test fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 
'libboost_filesystem-vc7-mt-s-1_33_1.lib'

It looks like I have to build libboost_filesystem-vc7-mt-s-1_33_1.lib, 
and add this library explicitly in the final linking, no mater what my 
project setting is. The library filename must be named above. I also 
built a VC 7.0 from scratch (which contains all the needed boost source 
(not the prebuilt library)), it all ends the same linker error.

Mystereous as it is, I am a little suspecious now. Is it possible that 
this library name is actually coded somewhere by some algorithm?

Best regards,

Allen Zhao
