[Boost-users] Autolink woes with Boost.Python, Visual C++ 2005

Hello,

I'm trying to statically link to Boost.Python from the Boost-consulting
binary distribution.
No matter what I try I'm either getting the furiously annoying error message
"mixing dll with a static runtime is a bad idea", or in the other situations
I'm being told that boost_python-vc80-mt-1_35.lib can't be found, which is
not what I want to link with in the first place hence I didn't install DLL
versions of boost.
All I want to do is statically link to boost.python. Is there some voodoo I
could perform? If I define BOOST_PYTHON_NO_LIB and try
to link with libboost_python_vc80-mt(-s)-1_35.lib I get unresolved externals
for calls using __declspec(dllimport).

Thanks,
Chip
