I compiled boost lib and got these.

//Shared/dynamic link libraries

// Static libs... does not need any dlls

In Visual Studio, I have written a test app using the boost thread library. Based on code generation settings it asks for these four libs only (like multithreading debug, multithreading, multithreading debug dll, and multithreading dll)

Now my question is how can I link my app to the other 2 libs so that it uses the dlls?

24/03/2010 11:25 PM 73,728 boost_thread-vc80-mt-gd-1_42.dll 24/03/2010 11:25 PM 17,214 boost_thread-vc80-mt-gd-1_42.lib 24/03/2010 11:25 PM 17,214 boost_thread-vc80-mt-gd.lib

Question 2. What does the g, s stands for?
