[csonx_p]

Hi i get this error on Eclipse CDT with MinGW compiler ... Here's my Little program

#include "boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp"
#include <iostream>

int main()
{

	using namespace boost::gregorian;
	std::string s;
	std::cout << "Enter birth day YYYY-MM-DD (eg: 2002-02-01): ";
	std::cin >> s;

	try {
		date birthday(from_simple_string(s));
		date today = day_clock::local_day();
		days days_alive = today - birthday;
		days one_day(1);
		if (days_alive == one_day) {
			std::cout << "Born yesterday, very funny" << std::endl;
		}
		else if (days_alive < days(0)) {
			std::cout << "Not born yet, hmm: " << days_alive.days()
                		<< " days" <<std::endl;
		}
		else {
			std::cout << "Days alive: " << days_alive.days() << std::endl;
		}
		
	}
	catch(...) {
		std::cout << "Bad date entered: " << s << std::endl;
	}
	return 0;
}

You would need to compile that part of Boost and link to it.

You would need to compile that part of Boost and link to it.

I though so but not sure how to .. I know it probably looking for a '.a' file which needs to be added to MinGW Linker in eclipse ... Do i do this in command prompt, and how?

I'm thinking if i rather user the boost Windows Installer, it should do all the compilation for me. Currently i'm using the boost folder which came with MinGW perhaps thats the cause of the probelm. BTW whats the difference between an include folder and the lib folder installed by boost, infact it appears boost installer only installs the lib folder which contains no .hpp/.cpp files ?
