You better avoid calling ld directly, unless you're certified ld guru. Use g++ instead.
Dude, I feel like a massive idiot right now. At first I had tried to use g++ like: g++ <objs> -Wl,-Bstatic,-libboost_regex-s,... -o prog but it didn't work out so I tried to give the commands straight to ld. I picked up that -Wl,-Bstatic from some group. I was just amazed that none of the programming courses I've been to have ever said half a word about linking and all its possibilities. I now tried to dump that -Wl,-Bstatic because it gets sent to ld: g++ <objs> -llibboost_regex-s ... -o prog and it just worked. Thanks for that ld -> g++ tip, I'm just embarrassed I didn't try that earlier. By the way, do you know any good books or sites where I could read about object file structures, linking and all that? Something more extensive than just a short tutorial would be nice. (Yes, it's offtopic, but you're probably reading this anyway and seem to know these things.) niko
