link by defining BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK.</P>
<P>This feature can be disabled for Boost library <EM>whatever</EM> by defining
BOOST_WHATEVER_NO_LIB, or for all of Boost by defining BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB.</P>
<P>If you want to observe which libraries are being linked against then defining
BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC will cause the auto-linking code to emit a <code>#pragma
message</code> each time a library is selected for linking.</P>
<P>There are some Boost libraries (<A href="../libs/test/doc/index.html">Boost.Test</A>
is one one special case), where automatic linking is not supported for
technical reasons: please consult the documentation for each of the libraries
you are using for more information, and the <A href="../libs/config/index.html">Boost.Config</A>
documentation for more information on configuration macros.</P>
