boost: mingw: windows 10: undefined reference - c++

Question

How do I add boost logging to a c++ project?
I'm trying to add Boost to my home development environment for the first time. All I want to do right now is be able to use boost's logging implementation to log some errors I'm currently printing to stdout to a file. I started by getting the lambda sample code to build and now I'm trying to add the logging sample code but I'm getting this error:
C:\boost_1_62_0/libs/log/src/text_file_backend.cpp:597: undefined reference to `boost::filesystem::absolute(boost::filesystem::path const&, boost::filesystem::path const&)'
My code is:
/* for logging */
#include <boost/log/core.hpp>
#include <boost/log/trivial.hpp>
#include <boost/log/expressions.hpp>
#include <boost/log/utility/setup/file.hpp>
namespace logging = boost::log;
void init(){
logging::add_file_log("sample.log");
logging::core::get()->set_filter
(
logging::trivial::severity >= logging::trivial::info
);
}
If I comment out 'logging::add_file_log("sample.log");' it builds just fine
