Hi Alex,

Thank you so much for the great advice.

When I set #define BOOST_THREAD_DYN_LINK in my code, do I need to set
#define BOOST_THREAD_NO_LIB at the same time?

Thank you so much again!

Yan

I didn't see any answer to this but apologies if its already been answered.

#define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK 

Is for use within your own consuming code - use the bjam --link option to control which version of boost libraries are built eg in boost root do:-

bjam variant=debug,release threading=multi link=shared stage --with-thread

which would build boost-thread as dll (bjam --help to get more info on options) then:

#define BOOST_THREAD_DYN_LINK

In your code would use the dll version of boost.thread (any other boost libs would still be looking for static versions)

HTH
