title: Boost.Thread Linking - boost_thread vs. boost_thread-mt
body: <p>It's not clear to me what linking options exist for the <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_34_1/doc/html/thread.html" rel="noreferrer">Boost.Thread 1.34.1</a> library.  I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 and I've found that when using either <code>boost_thread</code> or <code>boost_thread-mt</code> during linking both compile and run, but I don't see any documentation on these or any other linking options in above link.</p>
  
  <p>What Boost.Thread linking options are available and what do they mean?</p>
