How can I use Boost::regex.hpp library in C++?

I tried to use Boost library but I failed, see my code:

#include "listy.h"
#include 
using namespace boost;

ListyCheck::ListyCheck() {

}


ListyCheck::~ListyCheck() {

}

bool ListyCheck::isValidItem(std::string &__item) {
    regex e("(\\d{4}[- ]){3}\\d{4}");

    return regex_match(__item, e);
}

When I tried to compile it I get those messages:

/usr/include/boost/regex/v4/regex_match.hpp:50:
undefined reference to
`boost::re_detail::perl_matcher<__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator,
std::allocator > >,
std::allocator,

std::allocator > > > >,
boost::regex_traits >

::match()'

/usr/include/boost/regex/v4/basic_regex.hpp:425:

boost::regex_constants::_match_flags)'

etc...

Answer

Those are linker errors. The Boost regex library is not a header-only library like shared_ptr (for example) - you need to link against the .a or .lib or whatever binary library.
