Your setup is fine, and yes you need to specify libraries to resolve your
undefined references.
I’d consider using cmake to avoid having to figure out the necessary
library names yourself:
find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS program_options)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} Boost::program_options)which links to msys64/mingw64/lib/libboost_program_options-mt.dll.a in my case Best, Norbert.
