thus, bjam install seems to install the -mt version, while I requested to build the non threaded version... probably I'm doing something wrong with bjam build/install?
Unlike autotool, 'install' is not something completely unrelated to the regular build process. It's basically an ordinary target, and therefore is affected by the properties you specify. You shoul be using:
./bjam --build-dir=build_static --layout=system threading=single runtime-link=static link=static install
That is, passing all the same options. And, you don't need separate build and install steps. The above command will both build and install everything necessary.
OK, I see
g++ -static -I /opt/boost/include/ regex_use.cpp /opt/boost/lib/libboost_regex.a -o regex_use_static /opt/boost/lib/libboost_regex.a(static_mutex.o): In function `boost::scoped_static_mutex_lock::unlock()': static_mutex.cpp:(.text+0x16): undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_unlock' /opt/boost/lib/libboost_regex.a(static_mutex.o): In function `boost::scoped_static_mutex_lock::lock()':
so is libboost_regex.a still built using multithreading?
Apparently. Presumably, that's because it was built this way. I would suggest you remove both /opt/boost and stage directories and then either:
1. Run:
./bjam --layout=system threading=single runtime-link=static link=static install
(Note that I have omitted --build-dir, since it's not really necessary).
I did, and now get the library installed, but, again, I get: g++ -static regex_use.o -I$HOME/boost/include -L$HOME/boost/lib -lboost_regex -o regex_use_static /home/bettini/boost/lib/libboost_regex.a(static_mutex.o): In function `boost::scoped_static_mutex_lock::unlock()': static_mutex.cpp:(.text+0x16): undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_unlock' /home/bettini/boost/lib/libboost_regex.a(static_mutex.o): In function `boost::scoped_static_mutex_lock::lock()': ... /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.3/libstdc++.a(locale.o): In function `std::locale::_Impl::_M_install_cache(std::locale::facet const*, unsigned int)': (.text._ZNSt6locale5_Impl16_M_install_cacheEPKNS_5facetEj+0x2a): undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock' If I do (thus, using the .a file directly) g++ regex_use.o $HOME/boost/lib/libboost_regex.a -o regex_use_static I don't get errors, but the binary still uses dynamic libraries: ldd regex_use_static linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb800e000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb7eff000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7ed9000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7ec9000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7d66000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb800f000) If I add the -static flag to g++ I get the same above errors... what am I doing wrong? thanks in advance Lorenzo -- Lorenzo Bettini, PhD in Computer Science, DI, Univ.
