title: Fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_log-vc141-mt-gd-1_64.lib'
body: <p>I'm writing a program which utilizes Boost logging features and consequently, when attempting to build the said program, I'm getting the following error when generating code (on Visual Studio 2017):</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_log-vc141-mt-gd-1_64.lib'</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>However, I can confirm the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>boost_1_64_0\stage\lib has been added to "Additional Library Directories" under Linker -> General</li>
  <li>libboost_log-vc141-mt-gd-1_64.lib is located under stage/lib since when unpacking Boost, I did a complete build with toolset set to 14.1</li>
  <li>following relevant question's answers, I did add the specific .lib to "Additional Dependencies" under Linker -> Input</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I feel like it's something obvious that I am missing. But, any help would be much appreciated.</p>
