Above is my full error message after including boost/filesystem.hpp to my project. I saw some posts which said that adding -lboost_system might solve this, but I have no idea where to do that in CodeBlocks!
I have already spent one day on solving this problem. Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Right click on the project name; click "Build options..."; go to "Linker settings"; click "Add"; find the library and add it.

Additionally, you may add some custom variables to ease the management of debug/release and 32/64bit target options. I'll leave that to you.

EDIT

Here is the erroneous code from error_code.hpp:

# ifndef BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED
    inline const error_category &  get_system_category() { return system_category(); }
    inline const error_category &  get_generic_category() { return generic_category(); }
    inline const error_category &  get_posix_category() { return generic_category(); }
    static const error_category &  posix_category = generic_category();
    static const error_category &  errno_ecat     = generic_category();
    static const error_category &  native_ecat    = system_category();
# endif

As you can see, defining BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED will disable it. I have tested that and it works. This compiles:

#define BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED
#include <boost/system/error_code.hpp>

int main(void)
{

}
