Re: [Boost-users] Many undefined references for libboost_filesystem

15 Oct 2017

      You first has to find at which step you have an error.

once you know which step is failing it's easier to find the problem and fix it.

Do you have errors compiling ?
Do you have errors linking ?

then change your build system to output the commands and check for
missing arguments or misspelled paths.

in complex builds there could be more problems than just
compiling/linking of course i.e. configuration switch, defines, etc...

I'm working with Visual Studio Professional, I usually do not have
those kinds of problems.

but at a glance you seems to have linking problems.

Hi Daniel,
I tried some other versions based on the release date of the project and boosts. I tried 1.38 and 40 and 42 and 44 and 46. All of them return some undefined references.
How can i find which boost version is used in the project?
Regards,
Mahmood

you are probably using the wrong
 version of filesystem, or maybe of
 boost.
 often those projects need a specific boost version.

Hi,
...
I am trying to
build a suite as described at
...
https://github.com/gpgpu-sim/ispass2009-benchmarks
Some of the
 benchmarks use boost. For example, AES/Makefile has
LINKFLAGS       :=
 -L$(BOOST_LIB) -lboost_filesystem
Also, the Makefile.ispass-2009 in the root folder has the
 following settings
...
SETENV=export BINDIR=$(BINDIR); \
...
export
ROOTDIR=$(NVIDIA_COMPUTE_SDK_LOCATION)/C/src/; \
...
export BINSUBDIR=$(BINSUBDIR); \
...
export
BOOST_LIB=/home/mahmood/boost_1_46_0/lib; \
...
export BOOST_ROOT=/home/mahmood/boost_1_46_0/include; \
...
export BOOST_VER=""; \
...
export
OPENMPI_BINDIR=/usr/bin/;
...
I manually built boost_1_46_0 with the steps described at
...
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/doc/html/bbv2/installation.html
The installations was
 successful and I can see lib/ and include/ folders
mahmood@vb:boost_1_46_0$
 find lib -name libboost_system*
lib/libboost_system.so.1.46.0
lib/libboost_system.so
...
lib/libboost_system.a
mahmood@vb:boost_1_46_0$
find lib -name libboost_filesystem*
...
lib/libboost_filesystem.so
lib/libboost_filesystem.a
...
lib/libboost_filesystem.so.1.46.0
However, as I run
“make -f Makefile.ispass-2009”, I get many undefined
...
errors about libboost_filesystem. Please
