Yulei,
        these warnings (at least the second one) should be fixed already. Did
you use the provided Visual Studio 8 solution (QuantLib_vc8.sln) or did
you let VC8 convert QuantLib.sln, which is the VC7 one?

Later,

This might be due to your computer having a different locale---it
doesn't happen on my machine. Anyway, it's just a warning and should not
affect the compiled library. If you want, you can remove it by adding
the line

#pragma warning(disable: 4819)

to the file ql/config.msvc.hpp

Do you have such file in C:\Boost\lib?

This is just a message from the linker about the operations it's
performing. You can disregard it.
