Linking to boost::iostreams, frustrated.

20 Dec 2006

      Dear all,

I have tried several hours to link to a mingw built boost_iostreams
under windows without success. Out of desperation, I turned to linux
where I have a boost/cvs installed. Using a very simple test program:

#include 
#include 
#include 
namespace io = boost::iostreams;

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
	io::filtering_ostream ofs;
	ofs.push(io::gzip_compressor());
	ofs.push(io::file_sink("test.txt"));
	ofs << "this is a test script\n";
	return(0);
}

And
...
g++ -I/usr/include/boost-1_35 -lboost_iostreams-gcc34-d test.cpp
would success and run fine, but
g++ -I/usr/include/boost-1_35 -static -lboost__iostreams-gcc34-d test.cpp
will generate a bunch of undefined references like:
/tmp/cc2T22tx.o(.text+0x1af): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `boost::iostreams::zlib::default_strategy'
/tmp/cc2T22tx.o(.text+0x1c0): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `boost::iostreams::zlib::deflated'
/tmp/cc2T22tx.o(.text+0x1c6): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `boost::iostreams::zlib::default_compression'
/tmp/cc2T22tx.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost9iostreams21basic_gzip_compressorISaIcEEC1ERKNS0_11gzip_paramsEi+0x1e8):
In function `boost::iostreams::basic_gzip_compressor
...
::basic_gzip_compressor(boost::iostreams::gzip_params const&, int)':
Can anyone guess what is going on?
