Also make sure your Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS is set accordingly before you call find_package() (see FindBoost documentation).

Shared libraries on MSVC require some preprocessor statements to work properly to export functions/classes. The following page might be useful. http://www.itk.org/Wiki/BuildingWinDLL -- Philip Lowman
