Hi,

I have a "dll" project which is dependent on boost libraries like thread
and system. When I compile my project I gen error like

libboost_thread-vc120-mt-gd-1_57.lib(thread.obj) : error LNK2005: "public:
virtual __thiscall
boost::detail::thread_data_base::~thread_data_base(void)"
(??1thread_data_base_at_detail@boost@@UAE_at_XZ) already defined in
boost_thread-vc120-mt-gd-1_57.lib(boost_thread-vc120-mt-gd-1_57.dll)

What I understood from this error is, my project is trying to link to both
dynamic and static boost libraries. I only want to link to the boost thread
dll. To my knowledge am not directly using any boost autolink feature.

In the visual studio linking option I have mentioned only the
"boost_thread-vc120-mt-gd-1_57.lib". Why could it be trying to link to
libboost_thread-vc120-mt-gd-1_57.lib? Is there any way to find where this
is happening?

Thanks,
  Lloyd
