Answer 1

To configure boost use the user config header

Then just look for the dynamic link lines and change to your desired configuration

// BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK: Forces all libraries that have separate source, 
// to be linked as DLL's rather than static libraries on Microsoft Windows 
// (this macro is used to turn on __declspec(dllimport) modifiers, so that 
// the compiler knows which symbols to look for in a DLL rather than in a 
// static library).  Note that there may be some libraries that can only 
// be statically linked (Boost.Test for example) and others which may only 
// be dynamically linked (Boost.Threads for example), in these cases this 
// macro has no effect.
// #define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK
