i am trying to use boost 1.60 thread library in my project with visual studio 2013 on window 7. Following command i used to build boost 

b2.exe toolset=msvc-12.0 variant=debug link=shared threading=multi address-model=32 -j5 --build-dir=some_directory --libdir=some_directory install

Though building was successful when i add thread library in visual studio linker input option i get error saying 

error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc120-mt-gd-1_60.lib'

Few NOTES::
1. Is boost directory is in include path : Yes
2. Is boost lib directory is added to additional lib directory path : Yes
3. Is boost lib dll is in application's environment path : Yes
4. Did i build boost with different version of visual studio and trying to use in different version : No, both is VS2013
5. Is boost build address model is different than application's address model : No, both is 32 bit

after checking multiple times all of the above my knowledge base ends on this :(
kindly extend it solve this problem. What else i need to check?

For anyone who gets into same problem in future..
Just make sure you have added preprocessor flag BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK if you are using shared library version of Boost
