I'm not sure what this means, but it needs to be in the link parameters of the
command -- see below.

Ok, well if you are using gcc I assume you have something like
libboost_date_time-gcc-d-1_31.a as the static lib.  You should have a -L
switch which points to the directory that file is in and a
-lboost_date_time-gcc-d-1_31

So you compile command should look something like:

g++ -I${BOOST_ROOT} -L{BOOST_LIB_ROOT} -l boost_date_time-gcc-d-1_31
YOURFILE.cpp -o whatever.exe
