Hi
I have a problem with the boost::filesystem library and MSVC 6.0. I have build the lib-file for the filesystem library using bjam. I have created a simple console application and snapped the code from http://www.boost.org/libs/filesystem/example/simple_ls.cpp.

I have set a path for the lib-file and named it with the libboost_filesystem.lib in the Object/Library Module.
The program compiles without problems but the linking fails.
I hope that someone can help me?
Best regards,
Kristian Lippert

The errors look like:
