That doesn't look like you're running boost-build -- I'm guessing (since
I've never used it) Eclipse.  It looks like you're not linking against
the Filesystem library.  Boost Filesystem is one of the libraries that
is not header-only: 
http://boost.org/more/getting_started/windows.html#header-only-libraries 
You may want to look at that whole page.

HTH,
