I'm fiddling with the same stuff at the moment. The problem you're having is that the way you compiled the boost::filesystem library is not compatible with the stlport library (just check and you'll see that the mangled names of the functions the linker needs contain the substring _STL, whereas the corresponding mangled names in the library you're linking with have the substring std in the same place instead). What you could do is add the switch -d+2 to the bjam command line when you build the library. It will show you the stlport library switches used.
 
I ended up copying the stuff that bjam printed to the terminal and pasted it into a text editor. Then I changed all the switches that I didn't think were right and saved the file as a batch file which I then executed to build the library (yikes!). But as far as I can tell there is no way to build boost "out of the box" with bjam using VC++ 6.0 and stlport.
 
Anyway, with the exception of the filesystem::path::iterator all is working ok using this approach.

Well, when i try boost::filesystem::path(“C:\\”, boost::filesystem::native);
i get a linker error saying this:
 
Tutorial02.obj : error LNK2001: Nichtaufgeloestes externes Symbol "public: __thiscall boost::filesystem::path::path(char const *,bool (__cdecl*)(class _STL::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class _STL::allocator<char> > const &))" (??

Try boost::filesystem::path(“C:\\”, boost::filesystem::native);

 

You can also take a look at the examples under <boost/libs/filesystem/example>

 

Hope this helps,
