In my setup I don't specify BOOST_THREAD_DONT_USE_CHRONO anywhere but it appears in the generated rsp files which are used to build boost. Unless I'm doing something wrong this would contradict the documentation at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/doc/html/thread/build.html which states: ""Boost.Thread uses by default Boost.Chrono for the time related functions and define BOOST_THREAD_USES_CHRONO if BOOST_THREAD_DONT_USE_CHRONO is not defined. The user should define BOOST_THREAD_DONT_USE_CHRONO for compilers that don't work well with Boost.Chrono."" An unfortunate consequence is that boost::thread::try_join_until(const chrono::time_point&) is marked with dllimport but is not actually exported by the boost thread dll. LNK2001 ensues! I attach a patch which seems to fix the problem for me." Bugs closed Boost 1.54.0 thread Boost 1.53.0 Problem fixed
