Q:

boost install windows msvc 10.0 -- example.cpp fails to link

Having downloaded boost 1.53.0 and cleanly executed the simplified install instructions on WinXP

bootstart
      .\b2

The libraries that were built were all of the form
libboost_xxxxx-vc100-mt-gd-1_53.lib
but I get linker errors since the linker is looking for libboost_xxxxx-vc100-mt-s-gd-1_53.lib. How do I get the -s (static) versions of libraries built? I assumed .lib are already all static but renaming them results in different errors.
When I compile the example.cpp program I get a linker error
$ cl /EHsc   -IC:/PROGRA~1/MICROS~1.0/VC/include -ID:/boost/boost_1_53_0 example.cpp   /link

/out:example.exe 
example.obj 
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_regex-vc100-mt-s-1_53.lib'

If I copy libboost_regex-vc100-mt-1_53.lib to libboost_regex-vc100-mt-s-1_53.lib (along with others it reports missing I get errors like this
msvcprt.lib(MSVCP100.dll) : error LNK2005: "void __cdecl std::_Xlength_error(char const *)" (?_Xlength_error@std@@YAXPBD@Z) already defined in libcpmt.lib(xthrow.obj)

When I build with b2 --build-type=complete
D:\boost\boost_1_53_0>.\b2 --build_type=complete

A:

You can see the naming convention of boost libraries here. And Boost.Build properties can be found here.
So, if you need a static library that links CRT statically, invoke bjam like this:
b2 toolset=msvc-10.0 release threading=multi link=static runtime-link=static
