Thanks. i still have problem in linking boost thread library.
I have libboost_thread in /usr/lib:
$ ls -la libboost_thread* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 68644 Feb 16 2006 libboost_thread.a* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jan 5 16:03 libboost_thread.so -> libboost_thread.so.1.33.1* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 43236 Feb 16 2006 libboost_thread.so.1.33.1* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jan 5 16:03 libboost_thread.so.2 -> libboost_thread.so.1.33.1* [meryl@localhost lib]$ pwd /usr/lib
When i link it, i specified the -L and -l but I still get linker error:
g++ -L/usr/lib -o"sandbox" ./thread.o -llibboost_thread /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llibboost_thread collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [sandbox] Error 1 make: Target `all' not remade because of errors. Build complete for project sandbox
Thanks for any help.
Use -lboost_thread, not -llibboost_thread. The linker knows that library names start with "lib", and adds it on for you, just as it adds the extensions. -- James
