Hi fellow users, I build boost 1.43 on windows, using mingw with gcc 4.4.0: Using built-in specs. Target: mingw32 Configured with: ../gcc-4.4.0/configure --enable-languages=c,ada,c++,fortran,java,objc,obj-c++ --disable-sjlj-exceptions --enable-shared --enable-libgcj --enable-libgomp --with-dwarf2 --disable-win32-registry --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --prefix=/mingw --with-gmp=/mingw/src/gmp/root --with-mpfr=/mingw/src/mpfr/root --build=mingw32 Thread model: win32 gcc version 4.4.0 (GCC) with the following command: bjam.exe install -q --layout=system --with-system --with-thread --with-python --with-serialization toolset=gcc variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static When I now build a shared library, itself linking statically the libboost_serialization.a, I get the following linker error: Cannot export _ZN5boost13serialization9singletonINS_7archive6detail12_GLOBAL__N_ 13mapI24portable_binary_iarchiveEEE12get_instanceEv: symbol not found Cannot export _ZN5boost13serialization9singletonINS_7archive6detail12_GLOBAL__N_ 13mapI24portable_binary_iarchiveEEE12is_destroyedEv: symbol not found Cannot export _ZN5boost13serialization9singletonINS_7archive6detail12_GLOBAL__N_ 13mapI24portable_binary_iarchiveEEE18get_const_instanceEv: symbol not found Cannot export _ZN5boost13serialization9singletonINS_7archive6detail12_GLOBAL__N_ 13mapI24portable_binary_iarchiveEEE20get_mutable_instanceEv: symbol not found Cannot export _ZN5boost13serialization9singletonINS_7archive6detail12_GLOBAL__N_ 13mapI24portable_binary_oarchiveEEE12get_instanceEv: symbol not found Cannot export _ZN5boost13serialization9singletonINS_7archive6detail12_GLOBAL__N_ 13mapI24portable_binary_oarchiveEEE12is_destroyedEv: symbol not found Cannot export _ZN5boost13serialization9singletonINS_7archive6detail12_GLOBAL__N_ 13mapI24portable_binary_oarchiveEEE18get_const_instanceEv: symbol not found Cannot export _ZN5boost13serialization9singletonINS_7archive6detail12_GLOBAL__N_ 13mapI24portable_binary_oarchiveEEE20get_mutable_instanceEv: symbol not found collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Am I missing some build step?

I apologize for not being precise on what I compile. Here what I did: -I upgraded to boost 1.44 on both Linux and Windows. -I build static version of boost-serialization as mentioned above -I copied from libs/serialization/example the files portable_binary_archive.hpp portable_binary_iarchive.hpp portable_binary_oarchive.hpp portable_binary_iarchive.cpp portable_binary_oarchive.cpp into my own project and added the *.cpps to my Makefile. The project builds a dynamic library which itself links the static version of libboost_serialization.a Everything works fine (builds, runs, output is sane) on Linux, but trying to build the project on Windows produces the aforementioned linker error. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Philipp

And I have again to reply to myself: It looks like a known bug: Searching for "boost cannot export symbol not found" google returned me https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4670 and https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4698 But what is going on with this website? If i click these links, I get a blank page. I can view them via google ("View Cached"), but I can't access the attached patch. Philipp

Thanks for the heads-up. However, I have alrady installed the patches (see previous mail) and I'm still unable to use boost.serialization. Without the patches, I get the linker error. With the patches, boost doesn't even compile

I got so fed up, I dug my old gcc 3.4.5-powered backup of MinGW running to try a build with it. Result: gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2\libs\serialization\build\gcc-mingw-3.4.2\ release\link-static\threading-multi\basic_text_wiprimitive.o libs\serialization\src\basic_text_wiprimitive.cpp:14:2: #error "wide char i/o not supported on this platform" "g++" -ftemplate-depth-128 -O3 -finline-functions -Wno-inline -Wall -mthreads -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DNDEBUG -I"." -c -o "bin.v2\libs\serialization\build\gcc-mingw-3.4.2\release\ link-static\threading-multi\basic_text_wiprimitive.o" "libs\serialization\src\basic_text_wiprimitive.cpp" I also googled this one and found an open bug from boost 1.35 (!!!!) Bottom line: boost-serialization is unusable with both mingw-gcc-3.4.5 and mingw-gcc-4.4.0 Folks, this is utterly ridiculous. This is supposed to be the most portable and most standards compliant library in the WORLD and it doesn't even COMPILE on windows?! Philipp
