Error message "Undefined reference to boost (...)" comes when adding cpp11 plugin - c++

Question

When compiling my .cpp file with Rcpp in R, this error message comes :
undefined reference to `boost::system::generic_category()'
But when I remove the // [[Rcpp::plugins(cpp11)]] line, there isn't any error anymore. Why?
Here is my minimal reproducible example.
// include Rcpp, it takes care of most other headers you need
#include <Rcpp.h>
#include <boost/array.hpp>
// include Boost's odeint
#include <boost/numeric/odeint.hpp>
#include <boost/numeric/odeint/integrate/integrate_adaptive.hpp>
#include <boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp>
#include <functional>
// tell R you need Boost
// [[Rcpp::depends(BH)]]
// [[Rcpp::plugins(cpp11)]]
using namespace Rcpp;
using namespace std;
using namespace boost::numeric::odeint;
typedef boost::array< double ,130 > state_type;
// [[Rcpp::export]]
void my_fun22(Rcpp::NumericVector &x, const double t,const Rcpp::NumericVector theta){
Function f("mod_cpp");
x=f(_["t"]=t,_["x"]=x,_["p1"]=theta);
}

Answer 1

Yet another elementary issue: Boost System (generally) requires linking which is a whole different ball game than just pointing to Boost headers via the BH package. And the very standard error message undefined reference comes from the linker / failed attempts to locate a symbol.
We discuss the use of linking to Boost libraries in some posts on the Rcpp Gallery, but the short of it is that there is no portable way to provide linking to Boost libraries across the OSs used by R.
