Hi there!!!
 
Now I'm trying to include the boost serialization library on my project through class derivation.
I've followed the demo_fast_archive.cpp and the binary serialization is compiling and working fine.
 
Now I'me trying to make the same for the text serialization and then for the xml serialization. 
But when compiling I'm getting these link errors:

silvestre - 5 error(s), 0 warning(s)

 

For a better understand of the problem I'm going to attach the source files

 

Note that I've not tested/look XMLSerialization.h, so it must have errors to I guess..
