I had to build the Boost unit test library to get the QuantLib tests to work. Luigi has said before that this should not be required. I don’t think it’s worth
my time to figure this out why things are different for me, so I just build the library when I upgrade Boost.
For the record, there are several Boost modules that I’ve found I must build as libraries. I build date/time, filesystem, iostreams, program options, test,
math, regex, and system. Use the –with-<module> option repeatedly on the b2 command line. I also use link=static and specify the architecture and address model, along with the exact toolset (in my case, msvc-11.0). All this works very well for my situation.

Subject: [Quantlib-users] Building QuantLib 1.3
I am having trouble building QuantLib 1.3 with Visual Studio Express 2013 in Windows 7.
I have already installed Boost 1.55.0 OK
I used the file vc11 (MS Visual Studio solution) as a solution file.
Upgraded project files as requested by the compiler.
Edited Quantlib1.3/ql/auto_link with MSC_VER = 1800 and TOOLSET = vc110
All project files set with Include with \boost\boost_1_55_0; Libs with \boost\boost_1_55_0\lib;
On compiling testsuite, I get:
LNK1104 cannot open file libboost_unit_test_framework-vc120-mt-gd-1_55.lib
Useful suggestions requested. Thanks.
