Well, it doesn't look like you're inclined to give up so I guess we can't
either.

Do I take this to mean that almost all the tests (200+) compiled, linked,
and executed with no error?

OK the way I do it in the IDE is the following: Bring up the project
properties page for your project. check the following settings:
General
1) Configuration Type: Application(.exe)
2) Use of MFC: Use Standard Windows Libraries
3) Use of ATL: Not using ATL
C/C++
1) General
Additional Include Directories - the directory that contains boost
headers
3) Preprocessor:
Preprocessor definitions - WIN32;_DEBUG;_CONSOLE
4) Code Generation
Enable C++ Exceptions - Yes(/EHsc)
Runtime Library - Multi-threaded Debug DLL - note the DLL ! ( I
suspect this is the problem)
Enable Function-level Linking - Yes(/Gy) I prefer this myself but
not strictly necessary
5) Language
Enable Run-Time type info - Yes (/GR)
Linker
1) General
Additional Library Directories - <directory that contains the
serialization library here>
2) Input
Additional Dependencies - libboost_serialization.lib
I would hope that those settings should do it. To make sure its finding the
correct libboost_serialization.lib - change the name of this file. It
should come up with an error at link time - can't find file
libbost_serialization.lib. Changing this name back should make this error go
away.
The program should now compile !?
Good Luck.

P.S. The next version of the serialization library implements auto-link
functionality which may aleviate this sort of difficulty in the future.
