What exactly did you try? random_device is implemented in the library, so it shouldn't link if the library is missing.
I tried: #include <boost/random.hpp> #include <boost/random/random_device.hpp> #include <iostream> int main() { boost::random::taus88 rng { [ ] ( ) { boost::random::random_device rdev; return ( static_cast<std::uint64_t> ( rdev ( ) ) << 32 ) | rdev ( ); } ( ) }; boost::random::uniform_int_distribution<std::int32_t> dist { 0, 100 }; std::cout << dist ( rng ) << '\n'; return 0; } (Perhaps auto-link is picking up a library that you weren't
expecting?)
I must have a stray then (I'm trying to test the auto-linking and it works, while it shouldn't), now I have an anchor point, I'll take it from here. Thanks Steven, degski -- *"If something cannot go on forever, it will stop" - Herbert Stein*
