[boost-users] Compile and Install boost::thread from souce code on Ubuntu
Hi, there, The most updated version of boost on my Ubuntu is 1_40_0. So I choose to compile and install 1_43_0 from source code. During the building process of step 4 (mentioned bellow), I was prompted that boost::thread, boost::mpi, etc. libraries need to be compiled and installed separetly. I ignored them and finished the process. Now I can run the following program sucessfully with // robert@ubuntu:~/boost$ g++ -I /home/robert/src/boost_1_43_0 example.cpp -o example // echo 1 2 3 | ./example for example.cpp =================== #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <algorithm> int main() { using namespace boost::lambda; typedef std::istream_iterator<int> in; std::for_each( in(std::cin), in(), std::cout << (_1 * 3) << " " ); } =================== but failed to compile thread.cpp program with robert@ubuntu:~/boost$ g++ -I /home/robert/src/boost_1_43_0 thread.cpp -o thread for the following thread.cpp =================== #include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> #include <iostream> void hello() { std::cout << "Hello world, I'm a thread!" << std::endl; } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { boost::thread thrd(&hello); thrd.join(); return 0; } =================== The first few complaints I got are: ---------------------------------------------- /tmp/ccwgSZ3d.o: In function `main': thread.cpp:(.text+0x6e): undefined reference to `boost::thread::join()' thread.cpp:(.text+0x7f): undefined reference to `boost::thread::~thread()' thread.cpp:(.text+0xa0): undefined reference to `boost::thread::~thread()' /tmp/ccwgSZ3d.o: In function `boost::detail::thread_data_base::thread_data_base()': How can I compile boost::thread separately for it to work? Thanks a lot. By the way, these are steps I did to compile and install boost_1_43_0 in case that you may want to review it (or I did something wrong): [NOTE: The downloaded boost_1_43_0 source code located at my home directory: ~/src/ ] (0) cd ~/src (1) wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.43.0/boost_1_43_0.tar.gz... (2) tar zxvf boost_1_43_0.tar.gz (3) cd boost_1_43_0 (4) robert@ubuntu:~/src/boost_1_43_0$ sudo ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local --show-libraries --with-libraries=all --exec-prefix=/usr/local/bin/ (5) ./bjam install

It looks like you already did

No. I tried again the following for the thread.cpp: robert@ubuntu:~/boost$ g++ -L /home/robert/src/boost_1_43_0 -lboost_thread thread.cpp -o thread and got the following complaints: thread.cpp:2:35: error: boost/thread/thread.hpp: No such file or directory thread.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’: thread.cpp:12: error: ‘boost’ has not been declared thread.cpp:12: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘thrd’ thread.cpp:13: error: ‘thrd’ was not decon > If I try robert@ubuntu:~/boost$ g++ -L/usr/local -lboost_thread thread.cpp -o thread I got: thread.cpp:2:35: error: boost/thread/thread.hpp: No such file or directory thread.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’: thread.cpp:12: error: ‘boost’ has not been declared thread.cpp:12: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘thrd’ thread.cpp:13: error: ‘thrd’ was not dec5 Currently there is nothing under directory /usr/local/lib that is related to boost: robert@ubuntu:/usr/local/lib$ ls -l total 4 drwxrwsr-x 4 root staff 4096 2010-05-31 08:10 python2.6 but there is one lib directory as in: /home/robert/src/boost_1_43_0 -lboost_thread/lib I got nothing when checking out what boost packages I've already installed with: $ dpkg -l | grep boost Any further hints?
