I'm building the executable on the command line, so I have set the define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB
but now I get a linker error in the boost program option (the symbol can not resolved):

"public: static unsigned int const boost::program_options::options_description::m_default_line_length" (?m_default_line_length_at_options_description_at_program_options_at_boost@@2IB)" in Funktion "_main".

"class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > boost::program_options::arg" (?arg_at_program_options_at_boost@@3V?$basic_string_at_DU?$char_traits_at_D@std@@V?$allocator_at_D@2@@std@@A)" in Funktion ""public: virtual class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > __thiscall boost::program_options::typed_value<class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >,char>::name(void)const " (?name@?$typed_value_at_V?$basic_string_at_DU?$char_traits_at_D@std@@V?$allocator_at_D@2@@std@@D_at_program_options_at_boost@@UBE?AV?$basic_string_at_DU?$char_traits_at_D@std@@V?allocator_at_D@2@@std@@XZ)".

I'm not working with VS all the time, I'm using g++ on unix systems, so it is a little bit confused. 
Thanks a lot for your message

Now I would like link this libraries and the linker tries to search eg libboost_system-vc100-mt-s-1_51.lib also with the tags, but it does not find the lib, because it is named boost_system.lib (same problem with the DLLs) My linker command shows: link /nologo /out:myprogram.exe /LIBPATH:library/boost/1.51.0/lib boost_program_options.lib boost_system.lib
