Please post the full command that causes this (libtool --mode=link ...) including all of its output. > lib_LTLIBRARIES = libtest.la > libtest_la_SOURCES = main.cpp $(top_srcdir)/include/gamearchive.hpp > libtest_la_CPPFLAGS = $(BOOST_CPPFLAGS) > libtest_la_LDFLAGS = $(BOOST_SYSTEM_LDFLAGS) $(BOOST_FILESYSTEM_LDFLAGS) > libtest_la_LIBADD = $(BOOST_SYSTEM_LIBS) $(BOOST_FILESYSTEM_LIBS) > > The $(BOOST_*) variables are set by the "boost.m4" file from the Boost > website. This does work fine if I use $(BOOST_*) in my executable, but > it doesn't work with the shared library. Please post an URL to the macro file you have downloaded (IIRC there is more than one set of such macros). It may be necessary to also see the output of configure and/or parts of config.log in order to fully understand what's going on, but I'll be able to ask more specific questions with the information asked above. Thanks, Ralf
