I have downloaded and built the Boost library, as according to these instructions:

 

 

I need to use the serialization library, so I looked at the stage\lib folder, only to 16 different library files! Some are named mt, some sd, some s or d, and some a combination thereof, all this following libboost_serialization-mgw48. Some are dll files and some are a files.

 

I tried using –lboost_serialization, as I have seen this mentioned on a lot of forums, but Eclipse says it can’t find that library. So how on Earth am I supposed to figure out which of the many files to link to?!
