Boost Asio not built
Hi All, I have downloaded Boost 1.63 the second time. On my home computer, building it yielded all libraries. However, I do similar now at work, and it won't build Asio. First I do ./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=all Then I build, but these are the results: balazs@bamer-debian:/opt/boost-1.63$ ls stage/lib/ |grep asio|wc 0 0 0 Although there are cpp files, that should be turned into a linbrary: balazs@bamer-debian:/opt/boost-1.63$ find |grep asio |grep cpp$|wc 214 214 9862 Asking bootstrap about what it would do shows it is not willing to build Asio: balazs@bamer-debian:/opt/boost-1.63$ ./b2 --show-libraries The following libraries require building: - atomic - chrono - container - context - coroutine - coroutine2 - date_time - exception - fiber - filesystem - graph - graph_parallel - iostreams - locale - log - math - metaparse - mpi - program_options - python - random - regex - serialization - signals - system - test - thread - timer - type_erasure - wave What should I do? Is there a dependency missing? Thank you in advance. Best regards: Balazs

Hi All,

It's header only, AFAIK. So it is nothing to build.
That is incorrrect. Boost has binary libraries you link to statically or dynamically depending which parts of boost you use. _Most_ of boost is header only. If you cannot get it to build yourself, it is also distributed as pre built binaries https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/ and even easier, you can use NuGet to get boost as a nuget package.

I'm not sure you can mix and match. You either link statically -OR- you link dynamically. I could be wrong about that, it's been a little while for me. And then, with caveats as to usage, licensing, support, if memory serves.

Sorry, I was not trying to imply you mix and match, but link to all statically or dynamically. I can't fathom a scenario where you'd want to do some of one and some of the other. You use the preprocessor directive BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK to dynamically link. -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Asio-not-built-tp4693482p4693488.ht...

That wasn't clear, but thanks for clarifying.

Boost.Asio is header only unless you don't want it to be. But you have to compile it as a part of your code. There's no precompiled asio library. This is from the Boost.Asio documentation: By default, Boost.Asio is a header-only library. However, some developers may prefer to build Boost.Asio using separately compiled source code. To do this, add|#include<boost/asio/impl/src.hpp>|to one (and only one) source file in a program, then build the program with|BOOST_ASIO_SEPARATE_COMPILATION|defined in the project/compiler settings. Alternatively,|BOOST_ASIO_DYN_LINK|may be defined to build a separately-compiled Boost.Asio as part of a shared library. If using Boost.Asio's SSL support, you will also need to add|#include<boost/asio/ssl/impl/src.hpp>|. Cheers, Leon
