I am trying to compile this code in CodeBlocks
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
#include <iostream>
using namespace boost::filesystem;
int main()
{
if ( !boost::filesystem::exists( "myfile.txt" ) )
{
std::cout << "Can't find my file!" << std::endl;
}
}
With this compile flags:
g++.exe -Wall -fexceptions -g -O3 -pedantic-errors -Wall -std=c++0x -lboost_system -IC:\Users\moe\Desktop\boost_1_67_0 -c C:\Users\moe\Desktop\oo\main.cpp -o obj\Debug\main.o
But I always receive this error:
boost::system::generic_category()
this is the error log, that i receive when i compile the code:
Untitled4.o: In function `boost::system::error_category::std_category::equivalent(std::error_code const&, int) const':

boost::system
needs to be built and linked, it is one of the parts of boost that is not header only-lboost_system
-L
)cannot find -lboost_system
