boost_serialization link error under msvc 9.0 & 8.0

[anonymous]

I`m trying to compile small program using boost_serialization under msvc. I have three simple cases:

1) FAILED!
Jamroot:

using msvc ;

use-project boost : "C:\\Boost\\boost_1_45_0" ;

exe serial : serial.cpp /boost/serialization//boost_serialization ;

Serial.exe.rsp:

"C:\Boost\boost_1_45_0\bin.v2\libs\serialization\build\msvc-9.0\debug\threading-multi\boost_serialization-vc90-mt-gd-1_45.lib"    

All full paths are exist!

2) FAILED!

3) WORKS!

using msvc ;

use-project boost : "C:\\Boost\\boost_1_45_0" ;

exe serial : serial.cpp /boost/serialization//boost_serialization 
link<static> ;

So where is problem? Is only one possible configuration for building serialization library under msvc?

I can link with other libraries, boost_program_options for instance, but not with boost_serialization.

using msvc ;

use-project boost : "C:\\Boost\\boost_1_45_0" ;

exe main : main.cpp /boost/program_options//boost_program_options ;

Same problems with msvc 8.0 LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_serialization-vc80-mt-gd-1_45.lib'

[Steven Watanabe]

You need to add <define>BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB to disable auto-linking. I think other libraries probably already disable auto-linking in their usage requirements.

Thank you. It works! I`m gonna readdress this issue back to serialization library.

Corresponding issue #4893

[Vicente Botet <vicente.botet@…>]

Moved to Serialization to add <define>BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB in the usage requirements.

Sorry, I don't get what I'm expected to do here.
