If you want to compile something that will be in a shared library, you need to recompile Boost libraries with -fPIC. When switching to static libraries, this flag is not added. Static libraries don't need to be linked against Boost BTW. Cheers, Matthieu 2014-03-03 20:35 GMT+00:00 Koteswara Rao Ruvva <ruvva@yahoo.com>:
Hello All,
I'm a newbie to this mailing list. I am trying to build static boost libraries and link to my libraries. I used ./bjam debug link=static cxxflags="-std=c++0x" stage to build the boost libraries. When I build my libraries (shared or static) with linking to boost libraries, I get the following error: libboost_regex.a(instances.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.bss' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC libboost_regex.a: could not read symbols: Bad value Then I tried adding -fPIC while building my boost libraries. Didn't help. Any suggestions.
Thank you Kotesh
