I would like to avoid building a whole library for just boost::Thread. So I added the cpp files in libs/Thread to my project and it worked under GCC on MacOS.

However, Visual Studio on Windows tells me

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file ‘libboost_thread-vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib’

This doesnt seem right to me since AFAIK I didnt add a library requirement to my project. Why does it want me to add that and how does boost do it without changing my project settings?

Or am I mistaken after all…

Any Idea?

    Adding BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB to your pre-processor definitions will keep boost packages from “auto-linking” on Windows.
