    [Solved] MinGW linking issue

    My problem is a simple one - for some reason g++ does not find my libraries:

    g++ -LC:\avatar\boost_1_42\lib\ -oboost-test main.o -lboost_filesystem-mgw34-mt-d
    c:/qt/sdk_2010.02.1/mingw/mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lboost_filesystem-mgw34-mt-d

    However, in path
    C:\avatar\boost_1_42\lib
    there are following files (among other boost libs):
    libboost_filesystem-mgw34-mt-1_42.lib
    libboost_filesystem-mgw34-mt.lib
    libboost_filesystem-mgw34-mt-d-1_42.lib
    libboost_filesystem-mgw34-mt-d.lib

    As far as I can tell, those parameters given to g++ should be enough to find the last file in the list above. They aren't, however, and I am out of ideas here.


    My environment:
    Windows XP
    MinGW 4.4 that comes bundled with 2010.02.1 Qt SDK.
    Eclipse 3.5 with CDT
