I am trying to use the boost library with QT on windows. I've successfully build the library and also managed to include it in my project. However, on including gmp (#include "boost/multiprecision/gmp.hpp") and creating an object (boost::multiprecision::mpz_int myint;) I get the following error:
C:\Users\Laurenz\Documents\libraries\boost_1_66_0\include\boost\multiprecision\gmp.hpp:31: error: gmp.h: No such file or directory
And indeed, I haven't been able to find any such file in the boost directory. What did I do wrong?
Install the dependency and link to it. (See What is an undefined reference/unresolved external symbol error and how do I fix it?)
Alternatively, consider not using GMP, using cpp_int.hpp instead.
Since you already installed the GMP library, here's the last step:
Live On Coliru
#include <boost/multiprecision/gmp.hpp>
#include <iostream>
int main() {
boost::multiprecision::mpz_int i("1238192389824723487823749827349879872342834792374897923479");
std::cout << pow(i, 3) << "\n";
}
Note the -lgmp flag at the end of the compile/link command:
g++ -std=c++11 -O2 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic main.cpp -o demo -lgmp
Running it:
./demo

I'm trying to use a couple of functions from the Boost Math library in some C++ code using the G++ compiler but I've been unsuccessful. This is on macOS.
I downloaded and extracted the Boost tar.gz from here and placed it into my source folder.
Within my C++ I've tried
#include "boost_1_63_0/boost/math/distributions/chi_squared.hpp" and
#include <boost_1_63_0/boost/math/distributions/chi_squared.hpp>.
The quotation version partially works but the chi_squared.hpp file includes fwd.hpp using the bracket (#include <...>) notation and that breaks my compilation with error In file included from main.cpp:9: ./boost_1_63_0/boost/math/distributions/chi_squared.hpp:12:10: fatal error: 'boost/math/distributions/fwd.hpp' file not found #include <boost/math/distributions/fwd.hpp>.
To compile I've used an assortment of commands, all unsuccessfully:
g++ -L /boost_1_63_0/boost/math/distributions main.cpp
g++ -I"/boost_1_63_0/boost/math/" main.cpp
g++ -I "/boost_1_63_0/boost/math/" main.cpp
g++ main.cpp -lboost_math
What is the correct include statement and G++ command that I need to use?
Resolved using
#include "/Users/[me]/[project_dir]/boost_1_63_0/boost/math/distributions/chi_squared.hpp"
and
g++ -I/Users/[me]/[project_dir]/boost_1_63_0/ main.cpp
I am trying to use this C++ library (png++) on Windows, but I unable to compile any program when I use it. Example of Code I am using to test:
#include <png++/png.hpp>
#include <png.h>
int main(){
//anything
}
When I try to compile using g++ -I path/png++ main.cpp -o main, I get
fatal error: png++/png.hpp: No such file or directory
#include <png++/png.hpp>
I understand png++ depends on libpng, I tried adding it as an I- flag, i.e. compile using
g++ -I path/png++ -I path/libpng main.cpp -o main, but it doesn't resolve the issue, png.h is found by the compiler but not png++/png.hpp.
I hope someone will be able to help.
Thanks!
I am OS X user and I've recently installed "cppunit" library using brew. When I try to compile "test.cpp" file using TestCase.h header the error occurs:
> test.cpp:3:10: fatal error: 'TestCase.h' file not found
> #include "TestCase.h"
I am compiling this file:
test.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "TestCase.h"
using namespace CppUnit;
class EmptyTest : public TestCase
{
};
int main()
{
}
Using this command:
g++ -Wall -pedantic -std=c++14 test.cpp -o test.x -lcppunit
I've also tried compiling with -I giving the path to the library directory but still with the same error.
All my friends using cppunit and brew can simply include the header and the program works fine.
I would appreciate every answer.
I've solved this problem. I had issues with Xcode. Reinstall works fine.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
std::cout << "Hello World\n";
return 0;
}
command 1 (works)
clang hello.cc -o hello -lc++
command 2 (don't works)
/path/to/custom/clang hello.cc -o hello -lc++
main.cc:2:10: fatal error: 'iostream' file not found
#include <iostream>
^
1 error generated.
Why I can't compile with command 2 ?
It looks like you're trying to compile C++ with a C compiler. Try running clang++ instead.
clang++ hello.cc -o hello
Without running clang as a C++ compiler it won't have the C++ standard library headers available for you to include. Using clang++ the C++ standard library headers are available and the C++ standard library is linked for you automatically.
That is a known Ubuntu issue. Their clang just isn't set up right. I complained about it here -- and this remained unfixed for years.
But the good news is that it now works with the most recent 16.10 release.
Edit: Based on your updated question I would say that "custom clang" does not know about its include files.
I have a fresh install of OS X 10.11.4 that I immediately installed the Xcode toolchain on, then Homebrew, then Boost 1.60. In order to test that everything had gone well, I wrote the following code on my Desktop.
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
int main() {
boost::filesystem::path new_directory("hello");
boost::filesystem::create_directory(new_directory);
}
I then attempted to compile it as I usually have done with the following command.
$ clang++ test.cpp -o test -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem
I received the following error.
test.cpp:3:10: fatal error: 'boost/filesystem.hpp' file not found
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
This is how I have always compiled projects that link Boost in the past. I'm assuming that I have probably forgotten a step along the way that allows clang to search a specific path to dynamically link the libraries. What should I change in order for this compilation command to work?
For me, boost has been compiled and installed into a subdirectory of my home directory, so you'll need to modify the paths as appropriate for your homebrew installation:
flags="-std=c++1z -I/${HOME}/local/include -L${HOME}/local/lib -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system"
c++ ${flags} -o jared jared.cpp
First get the location of boost by doing the following:
brew info boost
From the image above, you can see that my location is
/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.66.0
Then, to compile, use the following:
c++ -I /usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.66.0 main.cpp -o boost
