Lars, thanks for your answer. I will try your proposal, we only have static libs which we assemble into an executable. So boost log should be fine here. I also link filesystem etc, but not dl. May be that is the error. I will try it. Thanks, Ovanes On Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 3:30 PM, Lars Viklund <zao@acc.umu.se> wrote:

Hi *,
I am stuck with a problem to link on linux (ubuntu 12.04) with a boost log library (clang 3.0 & libstdc++).
No matter what I do it fails. The problem is:
I have a 3rd party library which is delivered as an .so-module and I need to link with it. My project is organized so that we develop static libraries and link them with test or application runner executables.
I currently build boost as static libraries only, after I link my project with log library I get tons of errors like:

And so on. Do you have any hints or suggestions?
No matter which platform you target, static libraries have the amusing property that they're pretty much a lump of object files, and as such, are not linked to any libraries at build time.
Thus, you need to link to any libraries that Boost.Log uses when you link to a static Boost.Log. Judging by your errors, this would be -lboost_filesystem, -ldl and possibly building with -pthread, depending on your toolchain.
Also note that if you use Boost.Log in more than one module (DLL, shared object), you need to use the shared Boost.Log library as indicated by the documentation [1].
