Hello all,

I have a newbie question for you. I'm trying Boost for the very first time.
I'm also not terribly experienced with C++.

I'm using,

Eclipse Kepler (latest)
Mingw 3.20 (latest)
Boost_1_54_0

on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine.

I followed this tutorial to configure Boost to be used with Mingw and
Eclipse: http://theseekersquill.wordpress.com/2010/08/24/howto-boost-mingw/

Sections 1-6 performed as expected. The 7th and final step is when a "hello
world" like application finally compiles and links Boost into a .exe. I
cut-n-paste the following code from Boost's Getting Started tutorial (
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/more/getting_started/windows.html):

<snip>

#include <boost/regex.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
    std::string line;
    boost::regex pat( "^Subject: (Re: |Aw: )*(.*)" );

    while (std::cin)
    {
        std::getline(std::cin, line);
        boost::smatch matches;
        if (boost::regex_match(line, matches, pat))
            std::cout << matches[2] << std::endl;
    }
}

</snip>

The output of the build is,

<snip>

12:20:46 **** Rebuild of configuration Debug for project BoostRegexExample1
****
Info: Internal Builder is used for build
g++ "-Ic:\\boost_1_54_0" -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -o
BoostRegexExample1.o "..\\BoostRegexExample1.cpp"
g++ "-LC:\\boost_1_54_0\\stage\\lib" -o BoostRegexExample1.exe
BoostRegexExample1.o -lboost_regex-mgw46-mt-1_54

12:20:52 Build Finished (took 5s.992ms)

</snip>

If I try to run that application within Eclipse the terminal simply states
the application terminated. If I go to a terminal and run the .exe (using a
text file as in input as directed in the Getting Started document) I get,

*"Procedure entry point _ZNSt16invalid_argumentD2Ev could not be located in
the dynamic link library libstdc++-6.dll"*

Any ideas why this is happening? And, what I can do to get past this?

Thanks,

Joe
