Linking all Boost libraries in QT 5.12 Mingw - c++

Iam learning boost and test some examples, so I link boost libraries in my QT project with MinGW compiler, and I want to link all the libraries so i can use anything from filesystem to asio and go with different examples that use many classes.
this my .pro file which I link the boost libraries

I go to the boost lib folder and add all the libraries as above, I start now testing some functions and I still got undefine refernce to some functions although I linked all the libararies and I use it in Release mode here is my main in which i use boost archive

so what mistake i made to give me those erros, and I already linked all the libraries and add them to my Project i did not test more examples yet so i don't know if I will got some errors more if i used different classes.
Iam using this website to learn more about boost library here so I am going with different examples to test and I need to link all boost libraries
Update
This now my .pro file i removed the lib at the beggining and I remove debug libraries and use only release here is my .pro file

but still the same problem, if the order matter what order i need to make this example work?, also if there is a way to add them all at once with a right order it will be better.
Thanks in advance.

problems with adding library to my project

I have created a project with intention of using hunspell functions in it. I am working in Ubuntu. I installed and compiled hunspell library and linked it with g++ -o wc.exe -lhunspell-1.6 wordcheck.cxx and everything seemed ok. But when I tried to compile and launch my project I got some errors.
#include <iostream>
#include "hunspell/hunspell.hxx"
using namespace std;
int main(int argc,char** argv)
{
FILE* lst=fopen("wordlist.txt","r");
if(!lst)
{
cerr<<"Can not open file\n";
return 1;
}
Hunspell* hs=new Hunspell(argv[1],argv[2]);
delete hs;
return 0;
}
and the errors were:
/home/alex2/Документы/bO/wordcheck.cxx:14: undefined reference to Hunspell::Hunspell(char const*, char const*, char const*)'
/home/alex2/Документы/bO/wordcheck.cxx:15: undefined reference toHunspell::~Hunspell()'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
atus
I have no idea what is wrong. I tried using
Hunspell* hs=new Hunspell();
and got that there is a candidate for it that requires three parameters:
/usr/local/include/hunspell/hunspell.hxx:115:3: note: candidate: Hunspell::Hunspell(const char*, const char*, const char*)
Hunspell(const char* affpath, const char* dpath, const char* key = NULL);
The only difference is char const* and const char* but I always thought it is the same thing. The entire project is similar to the example file hunspell provides and I have no idea what am I doing wrong and why my thing is not working.

Allegro 5 game won't compile with GCC

I'm trying to port over a game that I made using Allegro 5.0 (from Windows to a Raspberry Pi running Raspian). I installed Allegro and moved over all my source files, but when I try to compile using: *g++ -std=c++0x .cpp -o SpaceFighter $(pkg-config --libs allegro-5) I get the following:
/tmp/ccBliSky.o: In function main':

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
AND NO THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE OF "What are undefined reference/unresolved external symbol errors? What are common causes and how to fix/prevent them?"
I know what usually causes most undefined reference errors. This question is specific to the allegro library I'm using.
Here's a bit of code (I'm obviously not going to post the whole game):
#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
#include <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h>
#include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>
#include <allegro5/allegro_ttf.h>
#include <allegro5/allegro_image.h>
#include <iostream>
#include "Game.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
const char errorType[] = "Initialization Error";
const int flags = ALLEGRO_MESSAGEBOX_ERROR;
// Initialize Allegro
if (!al_init())
{
const char message[] = "Failed to initialize Allegro Library.";
//al_show_native_message_box(nullptr, "Error", errorType, message, nullptr, flags);
return -1;
}
Game game;
// Initialize a new window for gameplay.
int screenWidth = Game::GetScreenWidth();
int screenHeight = Game::GetScreenHeight();
Thanks in advance for any help!
Alegro divides its functionality across several modules. Your pkg-config line must include all the modules you are using. Try the following:
pkg-config --libs allegro-5 allegro_font-5 allegro_image-5 allegro_ttf-5
I had the same problem with the al_show_native_message_box function and I solved it by adding the following flag:
-lallegro_dialog

g++ undefined reference to libscrypt_scrypt (linker parameterization not the issue?)

Here's my includes:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstring>
#include <stdio.h> //for snprintf
#include <libscrypt.h>
#include <sqlite3.h>
#include "generator.h" //has no dependencies
And here's my g++ 4.2.1 command with compilation errors:
# g++ -I/usr/local/include -L /usr/local/lib test.cpp generator.cpp -o test -lscrypt -lsqlite3
/tmp//cctxmw4C.o: In function `insertUser()':
test.cpp:(.text+0x607): undefined reference to `libscrypt_salt_gen(unsigned char*, unsigned long)'
test.cpp:(.text+0x6c3): undefined reference to `libscrypt_scrypt(unsigned char const*, unsigned long, unsigned char const*, unsigned long, unsigned long long, unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned char*, unsigned long)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Similar C code compiles fine with GCC. I do not believe that the order of the parameters is the problem -- I have tried multiple variations, including moving the -I, -L, and both -l flags. Both scrypt and sqlite3 are C libraries, and sqlite3 throws no errors despite having the header and shared library in -I and -L respectively.
Look at the solution here.
Using C Libraries for C++ Programs
extern "C"{
void c_function_prototype();
}
or
extern "C" void c_function_prototype();

Linking error with boost process (and other boost libs)

Here's my code. I'm just testing Boost::process so I'll be able to use it if/when I need to. I don't know why I'm getting the linking error that I am getting. I'm a rather novice C++ programmer. I know the concepts, but I make frequent errors in practice and am bad at debugging. I appreciate any help I can get with this.
#include<iostream>
#include<boost/process.hpp>
#include<boost/iostreams/device/file_descriptor.hpp>
namespace bp = ::boost::process;
namespace bpi = ::boost::process::initializers;
namespace bio = ::boost::iostreams;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
bp::pipe p = bp::create_pipe();
bio::file_descriptor_sink sink(p.sink, bio::close_handle);
bp::execute(
bpi::run_exe("/usr/bin/ls"),
bpi::bind_stdout(sink)
);
return(0);
}
And here is my error…

Seeing you posted your compile command, I'm guessing you are simply missing -lboost_iostreams in your linker settings.

c++11 threads, SFML and code::blocks

I'm trying to run this code using c++11 std::thread and the SFML library for networking, however I just cant get it to build. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with how I'm setting up the compiler, but I don't know... How can I get this to work? I've been messing about trying to get this to work, going through tutorials and such for hours now, so I have turned to Stack Overflow for answers. I'm using the code::blocks IDE and the x32-4.8.1-posix-dwarf-rev5 compiler on a windows7 64-bit machine.
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <string>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <SFML/Network.hpp>
using namespace std;
void doNetwork() {
cout << "Starting..." << endl;
sf::TcpListener listener;
listener.listen(88);
// Wait for a connection
sf::TcpSocket socket;
listener.accept(socket);
cout << "New client connected: " << socket.getRemoteAddress() << endl;
// Receive a message from the client
char buffer[1024];
size_t received = 0;
socket.receive(buffer, sizeof(buffer), received);
cout << "The client said: " << buffer << endl;
// Send an answer
string message = "Welcome, client";
socket.send(message.c_str(), message.size() + 1);
}
int main()
{
thread task(doNetwork);
task.join();
return 0;
}
