libboost_filesystem-vc110-mt-gd-1_51.lib is a library that has been built with VS 2012 (Also known as VC 11.0), as indicated by the vc110 in the naming convention. This library will not link properly with objects built with VS 2010 (also known as VC 10.0).

If you want to build your program with VS 2010, you'll need to get or build boost libraries for VS 2010.
