Having downloaded boost 1.53.0 and cleanly executed the simplified install instructions on WinXP
bootstart
.\b2
The libraries that were built were all of the form libboost_xxxxx-vc100-mt-gd-1_53.lib but I get linker errors since the linker is looking for libboost_xxxxx-vc100-mt-s-gd-1_53.lib. How do I get the -s (static) versions of libraries built? I assumed .lib are already all static but renaming them results in different errors.
When I compile the example.cpp program I get a linker error
$ cl /EHsc -IC:/PROGRA~1/MICROS~1.0/VC/include -ID:/boost/boost_1_53_0 example.cpp /link

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_regex-vc100-mt-s-1_53.lib'
If I copy libboost_regex-vc100-mt-1_53.lib to libboost_regex-vc100-mt-s-1_53.lib (along with others it reports missing I get errors like this
msvcprt.lib(MSVCP100.dll) : error LNK2005: "void __cdecl std::_Xlength_error(char const *)" (?_Xlength_error@std@@YAXPBD@Z) already defined in libcpmt.lib(xthrow.obj)

The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!
The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:
D:/boost/boost_1_53_0
The following directory should be added to linker library paths:
D:\boost\boost_1_53_0\stage\lib
I still do not see the libraries
