I ran into some problems recently with linking boost with minGW. The problem that I had was with linking static libraries: DLL's worked fine. It turns out that the problem was due to the boost builder. When it built all of my libraries, I believe that it recognized minGW as a Windows compiler/linker and named all libraries with a .lib extension, but minGW is a port of GNU C/C++ and expects .a libraries. What I had to do was go into my lib directory and rename all the .lib files to .a. Hope this helps. Del Bassem Bouguerra wrote:
Hi- Running the simple code with Boost Header libraries works perfectly fine. If I try to use any compiled library, then I run to hell. I am trying to use the thread library and I keep getting compiling errors like: undefined reference to boost::thread::!thread()
I installed the package and selected VS8 even though, I am using Eclipse and I added the "C:\Program Files (x86)\boost\boost_1_38\lib" to the linker search libraries paths.
