Re: [Boost-users] [program_options] linking error with example

I have problems starting out with the program_options library. Looking at the tutorial, I wanted to try out the first example metioned, first.cpp (which is located in boost_1_41_0/libs/program_options/example).

But there seems to be some linking error. I try to compile it by g++ -I ~boost_1_41_0 first.cpp -o first ~/boost_1_41_0/stage/lib/libboost_program_options.a

Unless you insist on linking statically, try export BOOST_INC=~/boost_1_41_0 export BOOST_LIBS=~/boost_1_41_0/stage/lib g++ -I $BOOST_INC first.cpp -o first -L$BOOST_LIBS -lboost_program_options HTH Christoph
