Ha! Even by reading the official boost documentation page about linking, I 
wouldn't have guessed what linker option to chose. 

For Linux/g++, at least, it wouldn't hurt mentioning the -lboost_locale in the 
docs.

There's no actual hurry as far as I am concerned, but something just came up 
today and I may have to travel to Europe for two weeks later this month, so I 
won't be available then, if I do go.



BTW, thanks to your help, I got the missing piece, so that I finally managed to 
do what I wanted to do:

#include <sstream>
#include <boost/locale.hpp>

std::string timestamp_to_string(time_t const& tt) {
        using namespace boost::locale;
        generator gen;
        std::locale::global(gen("en_US.UTF-8"));
        std::stringstream ss;
        ss.imbue(std::locale());
        ss << as::date << tt << " ";
        ss << as::time << tt << std::endl;
        std::string r = "";
        getline(ss, r);
        return r;
}

It took me 10-20 hours to research, read and understand enough to come up with 
the seemingly simple piece of code above. :-/ 

I use it to format unix timestamps before pushing it to my 
cppcms::base_content object.

I don't know if it's the right approach, but it works...
