 Hi,
 I'm having a strange behaviour with copy_file in boost 1.47.

 I've got a file with a piece of code like this:

 {{{
 string filename, old_filename;
 ...
 copy_file(old_filename, filename);
 }}}

 It compiles, but it doesn't link. The linker says that copy_file doesn't
 exists:

 {{{
 /usr/local/include/boost/filesystem/v3/operations.hpp:303: undefined
 reference to
 `boost::filesystem3::detail::copy_file(boost::filesystem3::path const&,
 boost::filesystem3::path const&, boost::filesystem3::copy_option,
 boost::system::error_code*)'
 }}}

 I'm using other functions from the filesystem library, and if I don't
 include the "-lboost_filesystem" flag I got other errors, so the library
 is correctly found.

 The boost library is not pre-compiled -- I built it by myself, but I
 didn't specified any particular flag to the b2.

 Thanks
