Linux C++ Compile Boost into my program

I've look around google and StackOverflow but can't seem to ask the right question to get a useful answer.

I have an application program that compiles on Ubuntu 10.04 and links in the Boost::serialization library. When I tried to run my code on another machine, it won't run saying it can't find the Boost library...

How do I alter my gcc/g++ compile params to tell the compiler to include the Boost libs in my executable? That is, how do I compile to get a fully transportable program?

Do I need to change anything in my C++ if I do this?

So my coworker found this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=491455

From that, he found that we have to use these flags: -Wl,-Bstatic -lboost_serialization -Wl,-Bdynamic

Are you sure that you've used static linking to compile your app?
