I compiled boost lib and got these.

Based on code generation settings it asks for these four libs only (like multithreading debug, multithreading, multithreading debug dll, and multithreading dll)

What does the g, s stands for?

When the users runtime is dynamically linked the Boost libraries can be built either as dynamic libraries (. so's on Unix platforms, . dll's on Windows) or as static libraries (. a's on Unix, .
Right-click example in the Solution Explorer pane and select Properties from the resulting pop-up menu. In Configuration Properties > Linker > Additional Library Directories, enter the path to the Boost binaries, e.g. C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_55_0\lib\. From the Build menu, select Build Solution.
In the properties dialog, select "Configuration Properties" and then "VC++ Directories". You will need to add the Boost include path to the "Include Directories" list. If you're using all header-only libraries then you're done. Otherwise, you will need to add the Boost library path to "Library Directories".
In dynamic linking, the library object code is linked to the executable binary at runtime. So, now we have a runtime dependency on the library file. If that shared object ( . so file) is not discoverable at runtime, the executable binary won't run.
You can force Boost to use the DLLs by defining BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK - either in your C++ preprocessor settings or by a #define in your stdafx.h pre-compiled header, e.g.:
#define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK
