It seems to me that we're seeing the same build problems crop up again and again. I have added a page to the Wiki: http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?CommonBuildPr oblems where we can build up a list of frequently-encountered problems and how to solve them. So far it's just a skeleton, feel free to add to it, everyone :-) It would be nice if we could review the email archive to add the problems to the Wiki. Slogging through all 600+ messages is a bit of a long haul, but I think if we break it down and everyone scans 30 messages (the number of messages presented on the web interface) we can go through the archive pretty quickly. Reviewing the main Boost list, on the other hand... -- Jim

Building boost into another directory.
by tlolczyk 23 Apr '02

23 Apr '02

I want to build boost so that it gets installed in a directory other than the one that it is extracted to. I did it once but I can't figure out how I did it. Can anyone help?

RE: [Boost-Users] Linking Problem with GCC

Hi Jeff, o Platform : Win32 (WinXP/2000) o GCC -- mingw port. o Command lines for the compiler and linker, with path names removed for clarity. (Compiling a DLL) Compiling files : C:\gcc -c -DBUILDING_DLL=1 -I. "maindll.cpp" -s -mwindows -ftemplate-depth-30 -IC:\Include\ -IC:\LIBSTD~1 -LC:\Lib\ -BC:\Bin\ -Ic:\BOOST_~1 Linking files : C:\dllwrap --export-all --output-def C:\dll.def --implib "C:\libHminet~1.a" -o c:\Hminet~1.dll "c:\maindll.o" Note that when compiling an exe, the command line uses g++ for both the compile and link steps. I've attached the source for the edge connectivity example in Chapter 8.2 of the text book. The only compiler that doesn't bite it on the attached code (that I've tried) is GCC compiling as an EXE, so I'm sure my problem with compiling a DLL is environment related.

Which platform/environment are you using GCC under cygwin, linux, dos? In any case, the cout and endl symbols shoud be in the library.

RE: [Boost-Users] Linking Problem with GCC
by Wayne Hartell 16 Apr '02

Hi Jeff, I agree that latest problem is possibly an STL/environment problem specifically related to linking a DLL. An exe compiles and links fine. I'm only new to GCC and am using v2.95. I tried updating to the 3.0.4 libraries but that didn't seem to help any. Anyway, I only got into this bind because VC7 and VC6 both run into Internal Compiler Errors when trying to compile (only a select part) of the BGL. I got a work around from Microsoft for one compiler bug, made a fix to the BGL code to get past another, then hit yet another internal compiler error. Where does all this happen? Specifically with examples from the BGL text book including the edge connectivity example in section 8.2. I don't blame the BGL for the bugs in the VC compilers and I guess the remainder of my woes are most likely attributable to my inexperience with the other compilers/environments. It seems, however, that for the code I am tryng to compile atleast, that there is a hurdle at every corner! I'm scared that even if I do get something going Ok, the second I use a new template I'll be in uncharted territory again. Unfortunately I can't afford this kind of risk on a fast track project. Maybe when I have more time, I'll come back to the BGL and try again. Thank you for your kind response. Wayne. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Garland [mailto:jeff@crystalclearsoftware.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 4:17 PM To: Boost-Users(a)yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Boost-Users] Linking Problem with GCC > Hi Jim, > > Yep its boost (BGL - graph) related.

Sure, I've compiled earlier versions of BGL with GCC (of course this proves little since we might have been using different parts). According to the compiler status page the graph test also works under BCC and VC6SP5. http://www.boost.org/status/cs-win32.html Which again doesn't prove much since we don't know the difference in what you are doing from the graph test does. From your previous mail the GCC problems doesn't seem to be a boost problem at all: :\data\software\code\controlled\snowbird\support\hminetworkservices\net worklib\maindll.o(.text$_S_oom_malloc__t23__malloc_alloc_template1i0Ui+0 x1a)://c/data/software/code/controlled/snowbird/support/hminetworkservic es/networklib/maindll.cpp: undefined reference to `endl(ostream &)' c:\data\software\code\controlled\snowbird\support\hminetworkservices\net worklib\maindll.o(.text$_S_oom_malloc__t23__malloc_alloc_template1i0Ui+0 x27)://c/data/software/code/controlled/snowbird/support/hminetworkservic es/networklib/maindll.cpp: undefined reference to `cerr' This looks to be an environment issue because it is complaining about not being able to find standard library components: cerr and endl.
