undefined reference to '__sync_add_and_fetch_4' when cross-compiling boost::asio fors mips
Hello, I'm trying to build Boost 1.48.0 for use with the WebSockets++ library on a MIPS based embedded Linux board. My build machine reports itself as: Linux version 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64 (mockbuild@x86-10.phx2.fedoraproject.org) (gcc version 4.6.0 20110603 (Red Hat 4.6.0-10) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Tue Aug 30 14:38:32 UTC 2011 My cross-compiler version is: mipsel-linux-g++ (GCC) 4.2.0 20070124 (prerelease) - BRCM 11ts-20090508. I don't have any control over this as its provided by the chip manufacturer. I can build Boost without any reported errors and can link to and use most of the libraries without any problems. However, when WebSockets tries to link to the Boost::asio library I get link errors like this: (.gnu.linkonce.t._ZNSt5dequeIN5boost13intrusive_ptrIN11websocketpp7message4dataEEESaIS5_EE16_M_push_back_auxERKS5_+0x30): undefined reference to `__sync_add_and_fetch_4' (.gnu.linkonce.t._ZNSt5dequeIN5boost13intrusive_ptrIN11websocketpp7message4dataEEESaIS5_EE16_M_push_back_auxERKS5_+0x80): undefined reference to `__sync_add_and_fetch_4' (.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN11websocketpp9processor4hybiINS_10connectionINS_8endpointINS_4role6serverENS_6socket5plainENS_3log6loggerEEENS5_ISA_E10connectionENS7_ISA_E10connectionEEEE19prepare_close_frameEN5boost13intrusive_ptrINS_7message4dataEEENS_5close6status5valueERKSs+0xc8): more undefined references to `__sync_add_and_fetch_4' follow I've done enough research to find this has been a problem in the past with ARM chips and is to do with atomic transactions not being implemented by gcc for the target machine. I've tried the suggested fixes for ARM which were to build with either BOOST_SP_DISABLE_THREADS or BOOST_SP_USE_PTHREADS but that didn't help with my MIPS environment. Can anyone make any suggestions as to what I could try next? thanks, Jayne.
