Hi Federico,
the solution is quite simple, all you need is this two steps:
1. Go to Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->C/C++->General
under Additional Include Directories add path to your boost includes
I have: D:\apps\boost\boost_1_42

2. Go to Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->Linker->General
under Additional Library Dependencies add path to your boost lib directory
I have: D:\apps\boost\boost_1_42\lib

i have compiled the example from
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/windows.html and
it is working w/out issues.

Hope it helps
Ferdinand
