Hi all, I'm having newbie problems with linking against Boost libraries. Here's the situation: I can build the boost libraries without problem, and I'm using the default toolkit for my system, (Fedora Core 1) which is g++. Compiling is no problem, just linking. I can link the object files by hand, but not as part of using Boost.build. As a test, I grabbed an example program from the date_time library and it's corresponding build rule. This code compiles fine as part of Boost, but if I move it to my project space, I get linking errors. Here's my Jamfile: exe time_math : <lib>$(BOOST_ROOT)/build/boost_date_time time_math.cpp : <include>$(BOOST_ROOT) <define>BOOST_DATE_TIME_POSIX_TIME_STD_CONFIG ; and here's my Jamrules in the same directory: project-root ; path-global BOOST_ROOT : "/opt/boost-1.30.2" ; Here's the Jamfile from /opt/boost-1.30.2/libs/date_time/example/ exe time_math : <lib>../build/boost_date_time posix_time/time_math.cpp : <include>$(BOOST_ROOT) <define>BOOST_DATE_TIME_POSIX_TIME_STD_CONFIG ; And the environment variable is set: BOOST_BUILD_PATH=/opt/boost-1.30.2/tools/build When I run bjam from a clean build, here's what I get: gcc-C++-action bin/time_math/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/time_math.o gcc-Link-action bin/time_math/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/time_math bin/time_math/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/time_math.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost9date_time15month_formatterINS_9gregorian10greg_monthENS0_13simple_formatEE12format_monthERKS3_RSo+0x3a): In function `boost::date_time::month_formatter<boost::gregorian::greg_month, << edited for brevity >> In function `boost::date_time::month_formatter<boost::gregorian::greg_month, << edited for brevity >> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status export LD_LIBRARY_PATH g++ -g -o "bin/time_math/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/time_math" "bin/time_math/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/time_math.o" -Wl,-rpath-link,. ...failed gcc-Link-action bin/time_math/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/time_math... ...failed updating 1 target... So things are compiling, but not linking. I must not have the configuration for Boost.build correct, but I've tried everything I can think of. Any help would be appreciated.
