I've built Boost 1.34 for VC8 and g++ 4.1.1 on WinXP. I'm testing my installation with a simple program that uses Boost.FileSystem and Boost.Regex. Compilation is no problem, and for VC8, all I have to do to get things to link is add the location of the Boost binaries to the LIB environment variable.
I was hoping that all I had to do for g++ was do the same for the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable (per http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Environment-Variables.html), but I get unresolved symbol errors during linking even after doing that. I played around with the -l option (per http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Link-Options.html#Link-Options), but nothing I tried worked.
What is the exact command line you've used, and what is the exact error you've got?
Can somebody explain or point me to an explanation of what I need to do to get a program using Boost binaries to link? I'm hoping there's something as simple as with VC8 where I can just specify a directory to look in and have the linker magically figure everything out from there.
This is not possible. - Volodya
