Unresolved symbols during cross compilation linking with Boost log - c++

I'm cross compiling project with following toolset:
cmake
Toolchain is arm-linux-gnueabihf
sysroot (which is actually rsync of necessary stuff from Raspberry Pi 2 and contains all of headers and libraries I need)
and list of find_package
Boost configured in following manner:
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS ${CMAKE_CPU_FLAGS} "-DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK -fPIC -std=gnu++14 ${CMAKE_ARCH}")
set(Boost_DEBUG OFF)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS OFF)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF)
set(BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK ON) # force dynamic linking for all libraries
set(BOOST_COMPONENTS
system
thread
program_options
regex
filesystem
unit_test_framework
date_time
chrono
log_setup
log
)
set(BOOST_ROOT ${CMAKE_SYSROOT})
set(BOOST_INCLUDEDIR ${BOOST_ROOT}/usr/inc)
set(BOOST_LIBRARYDIR ${BOOST_ROOT}/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf)
find_package(Boost 1.54.0 REQUIRED COMPONENTS ${BOOST_COMPONENTS})
Under the OS X compilation and linking just goes fine and I'm able send application to the RPI2 and run it.
The problem is in linking process under Ubuntu. It unable to find couple of symbols related to boost.log:

What can be root cause of that issue?

Found some workaround.
I use different toolchains on OS X (4.9) and Ubuntu (5.1) which seems produces some difference in linking process (or there is no binary compatibility). Installing linaro toolchain on Ubuntu with same version as OS X have fixed the issue.

If you need/want more information, please ask.
Thanks for your future reply.
To use the solution that was posted as a comment, just edit the .conan/profiles/default and change the line compiler.libcxx to set the value to libstdc++11.

how to fix it?
tried using this and this and this and with this also with no luck.
I had a similar problem. The protobuf_generate_cpp command in CMake seems to cause a problem in linking the source and header files created from the *.proto file with the necessary libraries.
My workaround was as follows. After obtaining the files created from the proto file, it was to close it so that it would not be created again.

CMake failing to link Boost regex library in Clion

I am trying to get Boost 1.72 release ready to use in my C++ project. OS is Windows 10. I use Clion as an IDE and CMake 3.17 and gcc 8.1.0 as toolchain. I tried to follow lots of different instruction on the web trying to "install" Boost properly, and I ended up with these steps (all italic folders names are valid full-qualified paths):
Unpack Boost source code, go to boost-sources-dir/tools/build, run bootstrap.bat gcc
Then run b2 install --prefix="provided-boost-build-folder"
Then add provided-boost-build-folder/bin to PATH variable.
Go back to boost-sources-dir and run b2 --build-dir="boost-sources-dir\build" --prefix="boost-install-dir" toolset=gcc install --build-type=complete -j 4
Now I have "include" and "lib" folders in boost-install-dir. I open Clion and add parameters for CMake in Clion settings:
-DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR="boost-install-dir\include"
-DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR="boost-install-dir\lib"
-DBOOST_ROOT="boost-install-dir"
And my CMakeLists.txt is below:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
project(DBMSProject)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "--coverage")
find_package(Boost)
# I also tried to use the line below instead of a line above, but it gave me a strange error
# "Could NOT find Boost (missing: regex) (found version "1.72.0")"
# find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS regex)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(DBMSProject main.cpp /* some other stuff */)
target_link_libraries(DBMSProject -static)
#target_link_libraries(DBMSProject ${Boost_LIBRARIES}) # that didn't work
target_link_libraries(DBMSProject Boost::boost ${Boost_REGEX_LIBRARY}) # neither that does
Just some sample code in main.cpp to see if compiling and linking work:
/* Other headers */
#include <boost/regex.hpp>
. . .
int main() {
std::string line;
boost::regex pat( "^Subject: (Re: |Aw: )*(.*)" );
while (std::cin)
{
std::getline(std::cin, line);
boost::smatch matches;
if (boost::regex_match(line, matches, pat))
std::cout << matches[2] << std::endl;
}
}
After trying to run this program, it gives lots of link errors:

But I can clearly see with my eyes the definitions of "absent" symbols in the same .hpp file as where the errors are! What am I doing wrong?
I finally got it to work. My CMakeLists.txt now looks as follows:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
project(DBMSProject)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "--coverage")
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${BOOST_LIBRARYDIR}\\cmake)
find_package(Boost CONFIG REQUIRED COMPONENTS regex)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(DBMSProject main.cpp /* stuff */)
target_link_libraries(DBMSProject -static)
#target_link_libraries(DBMSProject ${Boost_LIBRARIES}) # haven't tried that but I think it might work as well
target_link_libraries(DBMSProject Boost::regex)
It also turned out that I don't need -DBOOST... parameters for CMake if I don't use them in CMakeLists.txt, so I excluded -DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR and -DBOOST_ROOT from them.

Boost Linking problems

I have tried to link boost in my CMakeList file by
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS OFF)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF)
set(Boost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS TRUE)
set(Boost_INCLUDE_DIR /user/software/boost/boost-1.69-x86_64-cc7/include)
set(Boost_LIBRARY_DIR /user/software/boost/boost-1.69-x86_64-cc7/lib)
find_package(Boost 1.54 REQUIRED COMPONENTS filesystem program_options system)
and i get the following warning when doing cmake

Any help please would be greatly appreciated
Try compiling your code while defining macro _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0, e.g.:
add_compile_definitions(_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0)
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/using_dual_abi.html
If you get linker errors about undefined references to symbols that involve types in the std::__cxx11 namespace or the tag [abi:cxx11] then it probably indicates that you are trying to link together object files that were compiled with different values for the _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI macro. This commonly happens when linking to a third-party library that was compiled with an older version of GCC. If the third-party library cannot be rebuilt with the new ABI then you will need to recompile your code with the old ABI.

Boost Program Options : linking error

I am having errors while compiling my C++ code on the server.
So on this particular server the standard g++ installed is version 4.4.6, which I cannot use for my program since I need -std=c++14.
So I use a different version, which is installed in the home directory of another user, which is a version 7.1, called with command g++_71.
Know all the files compile except one class where I make use of the boost program_options.
When just linking to -lboost_program_options, it wouldn't work, because it would link to an old version of boost, that does not support the functionalities I was using, and also was compiled with the 4.4.6 gcc.
Therefore I downloaded boost version 1.66.0 and installed it in my home directory in a folder I named boost. I made sure that boost was installed with the correct toolset g++_71, even if this should not change a thing for a header-only library which program_options is.
Now I still get linker errors :

make: *** [ACOPPD] Error 1
I tried different techniques to resolve this error:
I tried to just do the recommended include : #include "boost/program_options.hpp" and -I /home/mkupper/boost/boost_1_66_0 in the Makefile as it is recommended by the boost documentation for header-only library, which program_options is.
I tried to include with the full path : #include "/home/mkupper/boost/boost_1_66_0/boost/program_options.hpp"
I tried to include -I /home/mkupper/boost/boost_1_66_0 -L /home/mkupper/boost/boost_1_66_0/libs into the linker and compiler flags to.
I tried to include -lboost_program_options in addition to the other includes.
I tried if the -lstdc++ would change anything.
Nothing changes the linker errors, I am helpless !
Here my current Makefile:
CFLAGS := -std=c++14 -Wall -Ofast -march=native -Wunused-parameter
LDFLAGS := -lstdc++ -I /home/mkupper/boost/boost_1_66_0 -L /home/mkupper/boost/boost_1_66_0/libs
BUILDDIR := objlinux
SOURCEDIR := src
HEADERDIR := include
SRCEXT := cpp
OBJEXT := o
SOURCES := $(shell find $(SOURCEDIR) -name '*.$(SRCEXT)')
OBJECTS := $(addprefix $(BUILDDIR)/,$(SOURCES:%.$(SRCEXT)=%.$(OBJEXT)))
BINARY := ./ACOPPD
ECHO := echo
RM := rm -rf
MKDIR := mkdir
.PHONY: all clean
all: $(BINARY)
$(BINARY): $(OBJECTS)
g++_71 $(CFLAGS) $(OBJECTS) -o $(BINARY) $(LDFLAGS)
$(BUILDDIR)/%.$(OBJEXT): %.$(SRCEXT)
g++_71 $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -I $(HEADERDIR) -I $(dir $<) -c $< -o $#
clean:
$(RM) $(BINARY) $(OBJECTS)
distclean: clean
The -I option indicates where the compiler needs to find the include files, therefore it belongs to the compiler flags CFLAGS.
The -L option indicates where the linker needs to find the library files, and the -l option tells the linker which libraries to include, therefore both should go into LDFLAGS.
With these said, you have missed the -lboost_program_options flag in LDFLAGS. As a result the linker will not incorporate the boost_program_options library. -L alone here is meaningless.
Bottom lines - try these:
CFLAGS := -std=c++14 -Wall -Ofast -march=native -Wunused-parameter -I/home/mkupper/boost/boost_1_66_0
LDFLAGS := -L/home/mkupper/boost/boost_1_66_0/libs -lstdc++ -lboost_program_options
