I've had a problem while using it with Borland C++Builder.  The solution 
(which I think Jeff posted here a while back) is to

#define DATE_TIME_INLINE

before including the header files.  This solved linker errors for me.

In boost/libs/date_time/src there are 3 .cpp files which may need to be 
added (if you don't want to build the lib) which is the way I've done 
it. (in boost-1.29.0 anyway)
