John's reply to my original post is correct. By default all libraries
should use static linking as filesystem did. boost-thread is different
as the static lib doesn't work on well on win32 so it always tries to
use the dll version.
I got confused because: I had to use dynamic RTL because I use boost
thread. I thought this meant I had to link against all boost libraries
as dlls, but this isn't the case. I can still link against other boost
libraries as static libs, providing they are built to use the dynamic
rtl (no -s in the file name which indicates use of static rtl). So
everything is working as expected.
To link against DLLs, I have to define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK.
The only issue I can see at the moment is that serialization doesn't do
auto-linking but Robert as said he doesn't want to play with this before
the 1.32.0 release.
Thanks
