You need to link with the pre-built standalone library. Use either Jam with 
Boost.Build system to build the library or you could use your own make 
system. But in that case you will need to come up with makefile yourself. 
The framework doesn't need much special compilation  flags. Consult docs and 
Jam for more details.
