Hi Amatya,

I do not know about NuGet, and how to install some of the libraries 
(instead of the header only variant).

- Either you build boost.test 
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_59_0/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/adv_scenarios/build_utf.html

- or you change quantlib to use the header only variant of boost.test 
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_59_0/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/usage_variants.html#boost_test.usage_variants.single_header

Hope that helps,

Raffi
