Using boost.build v2 to build/test application and boost

Hi!

I'm having problems integrating boost.build v2 with my
application and boost.
What I'm trying to do is to make boost.build in my
application build
automatically what is needed in boost.

I have a test that is like this:

project mintercept/mail/test ;

import testing ;

test-suite mail
  : [ run test.cpp
$(MINTERCEPT_ROOT)/libs/boost/libs/test/build//boost_unit_te
st_framework
]
;

It compiles boost_unit_test_framework, and creates this tree
from the
root of my application:
libs\boost\bin.v2\libs\test\build\msvc-7.1\debug\asy
nch-exceptions-on\link-static
The .lib created is:
boost_unit_test_framework-vc71-d-1_34.lib
But the linker complains:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file
'libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-
mt-gd-1_34.lib'

What do I do? Should I disable auto linking? If it is so,
how do I do?
Or is the boost.build not building the correct target?

Can you remove the "test.o" file produced from
your "test.cpp" file (or touch 
test.cpp), then run 

    bjam --v2 -n

and post the output? I think the autolinking code thinks
you're building 
multi-thread application, while Boost.Build is building
single-thread 
application.

Can you build and run the following test application
(without linking it to 
anything)?:

    #include <boost/config.hpp>
    #include <stdio.h>
  
   int main()
   {
#if defined(_MT) || defined(__MT__)
       printf("MT build\n");
#else
       printf("ST build\n");
#endif   
   }

? That will help us to get right to the root of the problem.

You can add <define>BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 to the
target's requirements, and it 
might be good idea anyway, because Boost.Build will link to
the library 
itself, but it will be also desirable to debug the autolink
problem -- just 
in case in future you'd prefer to use autolink for some
reason.
