I'd like to play with boost::filesystem, and this turns out to be the first boost library I've tried to use that requires that I build something first. I downloaded bjam, and it appears that I have successfully built filesystem libraries for the compilers I care about (VC6, VC7.1, gcc, and como), because there is a subdirectory for each of them under the libboost_filesystem.lib directory, and each subdirectory, if you push down far enough, has .obj files under both debug and release. But I can't get anything to link. I can get the sample filesystem app (simple_ls.cpp) to compile cleanly under all compilers, but nothing will link. It seems clear that I somehow need to tell the linker where to find the appropriate filesystem libraries, but I'm not sure where to point it. Help? I'm running Windows 2000. Thanks, Scott
