title: error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_55.lib'
body: <p>I'm trying to link the shared library of boost thread into my application.</p>
  
  <p>System: Windows8</p>
  
  <p>IDE: Visual Studio 2010</p>
  
  <p>I build the boost library using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>b2 --with-thread --build-type=complete link=shared
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can see the </p>
  
  <pre><code>boost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_55.dll
  boost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_55.lib
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and other file inside the stage/lib directory</p>
  
  <p>I've added the path to Additional Library Directories and Input in linker option as:</p>
  
  <p>Additional Library Directories: <code>C:/boost_1_55_0_dyn/stage/lib</code></p>
  
  <p>Input: <code>C:\boost_1_55_0_dyn\stage\lib\boost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_55.lib</code></p>
  
  <p>I don't know why on the earth Visual Studio is looking for libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_55.lib. I haven't mentioned the libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_55.lib anywhere in the properties or any place. I even search all my files and folders inside the project, libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_55.lib is not mentioned anywhere. </p>
