New subject: Linking error using boost::thread - start_threadundefined

22 Jun 2008

      Hi All

I'm new to using Boost and have a (hopefully simple) linker problem.

I'm compiling using gcc 4.2.1 under OpenSUSE 10.3 and get the following:

---
Invoking: GCC C++ Linker
g++ -o"TestTransporter"  ./src/TestTransporter.o   -lrt -lpthread -lboost_thread
./src/TestTransporter.o: In function `thread':
/usr/include/boost/thread/pthread/thread.hpp:151: undefined reference
to `boost::thread::start_thread()'
---

The code is quite simple:

---
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include 

void foo ()
{};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	std::cout << "!!!Hello World!!!" << std::endl; // prints !!!Hello World!!!
	boost::thread test_thread (&foo);
	return 0;
}
---

I've compiled the thread tests all ok and used the "-d+2" option but
couldn't see any additional link options that I don't already have.
Can anyone shine light on this for me?

Regards,

WR
