"libboost_system-vc110-mt-gd-1_55.lib" naming indicates the lib file is 
built for shared runtime, not static, but your project is using static 
runtime (/MTd).

I noticed now that you specify - in front of the properties when 
building, AFAIK this is incorrect usage[1].

At least I don't when building boost. Here's what I just ran (using 
vs2013, don't have 2021 here right now):

b2 link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static --with-filesystem

which produced the following file:
"libboost_filesystem-vc120-mt-sgd-1_55.lib"

Notice it's "sgd" and not just "gd", for static runtime.
