Subject: [Boost-users] Visual Studio 9.0 Express & boost 1.36 linker issues
From: Alfonso Urdaneta (aurdaneta_at_[hidden])

1. Build boost from scratch.

C:\boost\boost_1_36_0>bjam --build-dir="c:\tmp\build-boost" 
--toolset=msvc --build-type=complete stage

C:\boost\boost_1_36_0>bjam --build-dir="c:\tmp\build-boost" 
--toolset=msvc --build-type=complete install

2.
Create a windows form application.  add nothing but the line
#include <boost/thread.hpp>

3. Update project re: inc and lib dirs.
4. link.  Error output follows:
