I compiled boost lib and got these.

In Visual Studio, I have written a test app using the boost thread library. Based on code generation settings it asks for these four libs only (like multithreading debug, multithreading, multithreading debug dll, and multithreading dll)

Now my question is how can I link my app to the other 2 libs so that it uses the dlls?

Question 2. What does the g, s stands for?
