[Boost-users] simple_ls.cpp build issues

Hi,
 
I'm new to the boost libraries and wanted to write something that would
give me the names of all the entries in a directory in a platform
independent way. Having looked at the filesystem facilities provided
with boost I decided that this is just what I need and downlaoded
simple_ls.cpp just to check I could compile it before going any further.
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition and I get a few
compile errors when I tries to build it. Maybe I'm missing something
here but the error messages seem to reflect the reality since the items
it can't find don't exist in the boost files provided - I'm using boost
1.3.3.1
 
Here is the output from the compiler:

Any help would be much appreciated,
