Re: [Boost-users] boost filesystem library files can not be linked

In addition to the boost_filesystem lib, you also need to link against the boost_system lib. I believe this should solve your problem.

If I use g++, I should compile it like this, right?

g++ -o main.exe main.cpp -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system

You may also need to specify the -L option if your boost libs are not in the linkers default search path. Something like this: g++ -o main.exe main.cpp -L -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system
