It's a mystery to me. In one module I either include
<boost/filesystem.hpp> and setup a path, then cannot see std::string
from <string>. In another module it's just the opposite. std::string
but no boost::filesystem::path.

Additionally, CodeBench is telling me boost::filesystem::path could
not be resolved. Also std::string could not be resolved. It's a
"Semantic Error" which I take it is possibly a linker confusion?

Description    Resource    Path    Location    Type
Type 'boost::filesystem::path' could not be resolved
virtualdirectory.cpp    /detector/filesystem/filesystem    line 14
Semantic Error

Description    Resource    Path    Location    Type
Type 'std::string' could not be resolved    detectionlogger.h
/detector/logger/logger    line 42    Semantic Error

I am linking against boost statically (preferred, for now).

boost 1.53.0
GCC 4.7.2
C++11 standard (if possible)

Building through Sourcery CodeBench on a Linux host, targeting ArchLinux ARM.

Any ideas?
