I've been trying to get boost libraries to work with code::blocks(mingw), but I can't seem to get it right. I have followed the instructions on official website:
http://www.boost.org...a-boost-library

I built the libs and everything and added the include and lib to my compiler search directory... but what do i do next? when I write #include <boost... nothing comes up. I copied the test code, and it failed saying :fatal error: boost/lambda/lambda.hpp: No such file or directory. Iv'e been searching around and I couldn't find any good tutorial for setting up Boost, even though it seems like a very useful and popular library...

any help?

ugh Okay, so I got it to work by actually placing boost's include files into mingw's include folder. It's so fustrating because I shoundn'e have to do that right? I should be about to just add it through the compiler search directory settings. Does anybody know why that wouldn't work? I've included other libraries that way...

okay I guess its not working... I keep getting: undefined reference to `boost::chrono::steady_clock::now()'
I don't understand...I don't have to link the chrono file do I?

You can place the libary's in the MinGW lib folder or

include them in the libray search path

You will probably also need to add the boost library to the linker settings. Not all boost libraries are header only libraries some also use a library file.

According to the docs it links to the non-header-only boost::system library, so you at least need to add that into the linker spec.
