Dear all, I have tried several hours to link to a mingw built boost_iostreams under windows without success. Out of desperation, I turned to linux where I have a boost/cvs installed. Using a very simple test program: #include <boost/iostreams/filtering_stream.hpp> #include <boost/iostreams/filter/gzip.hpp> #include <boost/iostreams/device/file.hpp> namespace io = boost::iostreams; int main(int argc, char ** argv) { io::filtering_ostream ofs; ofs.push(io::gzip_compressor()); ofs.push(io::file_sink("test.txt")); ofs << "this is a test script\n"; return(0); } And
g++ -I/usr/include/boost-1_35 -lboost_iostreams-gcc34-d test.cpp would success and run fine, but g++ -I/usr/include/boost-1_35 -static -lboost__iostreams-gcc34-d test.cpp will generate a bunch of undefined references like:
/tmp/cc2T22tx.o(.text+0x1af): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::iostreams::zlib::default_strategy' /tmp/cc2T22tx.o(.text+0x1c0): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::iostreams::zlib::deflated' /tmp/cc2T22tx.o(.text+0x1c6): In function `main': : undefined reference to `boost::iostreams::zlib::default_compression' /tmp/cc2T22tx.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost9iostreams21basic_gzip_compressorISaIcEEC1ERKNS0_11gzip_paramsEi+0x1e8): In function `boost::iostreams::basic_gzip_compressor<std::allocator<char>
::basic_gzip_compressor(boost::iostreams::gzip_params const&, int)':
Can anyone guess what is going on? Bo
