I am sorry! I have googled this a lot and cannot find an answer! It's dumb I know.
I cannot link in static libraries(*.a) in eclipse cdt. I listed them all in Project->Settings-> GCC C++ linker -> Libraries. I used the absolute path to make sure I had the lib correct… and i get:
cannot find -l/usr/local/lib/libboost_date_time.a
I am sure it's stupid whatever I am doing wrong 🙁
Edit — and i should mention i am linking the libraries at run time…

I remember having a similar issue way back when I was compiling our code under linux (coming from a windows background) and if I recall correctly specifying the absolute path to the static lib also didn't work.
Are you aware that to link to "libboost_date_time.a", you need to specify "boost_date_time" without the "lib" and the ".a"? In my case that solved the problem. /usr/local/lib should be on your path in any case AFAIR.
