OK, now that you use Visual C++, Boost libraries will get auto-linked, however you need to build them first. In this case you need to build just Boost.System. Then add the necessary directory as Additional Library Directories to get it working. See here for details: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/more/getting_started/index.html
