Are you using the appropriate #define in your consuming code

Eg
#ifndef BOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK
#define BOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK 
#endif
#include <boost/regex.hpp>

Which would ask to link to the dynamic link version of regex library not the static one - then all you need to do is make sure that the path to the boost libraries directory is added rather than having to add specific libraries

Similar defines exist for the other libraries which are not header only.
