c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.3.3/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lboost_program_options collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [cbir] Error 1

Answer 1

boost_program_options needs to be compiled. Check out that you habe the precompiled lib avalable for your compiler. And that you set the corresponding path in your make file, e.g. In Qt .pro files:

    LIBS += -L"c:/pathToLib"
