Hi,
I am wondering if any of you boost gurus can help with this problem.
I have compiled and installed boost using gcc 2.95.3 on a linux redhat 7
machine. The install actually fails on some targets. I get this
message at the end of the install:
...failed updating 24 targets...
...skipped 48 targets...
...updated 2343 targets...
But I am guessing that this is expected behavior for an old compiler.
Anyway, I am interested in the filesystem library at this time, and so I
tried compiling the simple_ls.cpp example. When I compile using the
default linking (which uses shared objects), the program works fine, but
when I compile using the -static flag to limit to static linking, I get
a lot of undefined reference errors (see below). Unfortunately, I
haven't been able to figure out why this would happen.
Any suggestions on how to debug this or as to what might be going wrong
would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Daniel
