In this case you list the library _before_ your own code.

But when I run it as 2 commands: g++ -IC:/Boost/include/boost-1_32 thread_test.cpp -o thread_test.o -c g++ -LC:/Boost/lib -o manual_test thread_test.o -lboost_thread-mgw-mt

It compiles perfectly, no warnings or anything

But here you list the library _after_ your own code.

is there some rule, for producing executables from librarys, that the linking stage must be seperate????

No. You can compile and link in a single step, provided you list the library after your own code. (You'll also want "-o manual_test" probably.) -- Stephen Jackson
