does not seem to find the components that it needs.
I am using MSVC6 under Windows XP, and after downloading version 1.30.0, I typed
bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc"
in the boost directory, as described in the documentation. This seemed to build a lot of things, and scatter the results in various deep subdirectories.
When I then try to link my own test program, which uses the constructor boost::filesystem::path(const char*), the linker complains that it cannot find this symbol in any library. I would assume that this is because the filesystem library has not been installed in the library path, but there is no mention that I can find in the documentation of any further actions I should perform after I have run bjam.
Copying the file
\boost_1_30_0\libs\filesystem\build\bin\libboost_filesystem.lib\msvc\debug\runtime-link-dynamic\libboost_filesystem.lib
by hand to the default MSVC library directory does not seem to have any effect at all, and explicitly adding it to the cl command line only results in the linker complaining about a lot of multiply defined symbols. In any case neither of these actions is suggested in the documentation.
What is it that I am supposed to do?
I am quite sure that the answer is something quite trivial, because I am by no means any expert on the MSVC environment, but I do think that the Boost documentation should explicitly mention all the steps that are required to use any of the libraries.
I have previously beed successful in installing the regex package by just following the intstructions in the documentation, so for that library, the build and install information was evidently sufficient for someone like me.
