I just installed boost_1_30_0 and updated to glibc-2.3.2 on my RH8.0 Linux box. Now I have problems to create a static link of my executable.
I'm wondering what is the correct link procedure. g++ -Wall -I ../../src/fixed -I ../../src/float -O3 -ffast-math -fstrict-aliasing -m3dnow -ggdb -march=athlon-xp -mcpu=athlon-xp -fprofile-arcs -D_GNU_SOURCE -Wp,-MMD,.d/Test34.d -o Test34 Test34.o -L. -liTest -lpopt -lcephes -lfftw -static Test34.o: In function `boost::detail::shared_count::shared_count[in-charge]<std::basic_ofstream<char, std::char_traits<char> >*, boost::checked_deleter<std::basic_ofstream<char, std::char_traits<char> > > >(std::basic_ofstream<char, std::char_traits<char> >*, boost::checked_deleter<std::basic_ofstream<char, std::char_traits<char> > >)': /usr/include/c++/3.2/iostream:62: undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_init' Test34.o: In function `boost::detail::sp_counted_base_impl<std::basic_ofstream<char, std::char_traits<char> >*, boost::checked_deleter<std::basic_ofstream<char, std::char_traits<char> > > >::~sp_counted_base_impl [in-charge]()': /usr/include/c++/3.2/iostream:62: undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_destroy' Test34.o: In function `boost::detail::sp_counted_base_impl<std::basic_ofstream<char, std::char_traits<char> >*, boost::checked_deleter<std::basic_ofstream<char, std::char_traits<char> > > >::~sp_counted_base_impl [in-charge deleting]()': /usr/include/c++/3.2/iostream:62: undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_destroy' Test34.o: In function `boost::detail::sp_counted_base::~sp_counted_base [in-charge]()': /usr/include/c++/3.2/iostream:62: undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_destroy' Test34.o: In function `boost::detail::sp_counted_base::~sp_counted_base [in-charge deleting]()': /usr/include/c++/3.2/iostream:62: undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_destroy' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status It seems adding -lpthread fixes this, but 1) I don't use thread 2) it isn't needed for normal (nonstatic) link, and wasn't needed before the updates. Now I see I have /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.xxx What is it for? nm /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.1.30.0 nm: /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.1.30.0: no symbols Is it just used to pull in -lpthread? Apparantly, the pthread is needed because I used a boost shared pointer. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
