Hello, I tried to use boost in Eclipse on Windows. My testing program:
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
using namespace boost::filesystem;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
if (argc < 2)
{
std::cout << "Usage: tut1 path\n";
return 1;
}
std::cout << argv[1] << " " << file_size(argv[1]) << '\n';
return 0;
}

Thanks for help.

boost Filesystem needs to be built before you can use the library.

If you have done so, please put the following libraries in your list of libraries to link against:
boost system and boost filesystem (I can't remember the exact names for windows).

Yes, I tried to build boost binaries on my windows machine for eclipse, but hasn't been successful.

I think I first need to build the bjam tool. but I didn't find the jam/ directory under boost/tools/ directory.

Any ideas on how to build boost for eclipse on Windows machine?

Thanks.

I am able to build the binaries now. They are placed under C:\boost_1_47_0\stage\lib. To test the filesystem library. I added "boost_filesystem-mgw46-mt-1_47" to the MinGW C++ linker's 'libraries', but I still get an undefined reference problem:

There are two libraries built for filesystem under stage/lib:
libboost_filesystem-mgw46-mt-1_47.a
libboost_filesystem-mgw46-mt-d-1_47.a

Anything wrong here?
