I used the MinGW installation at http://nuwen.net/mingw.html
I ran the second.cpp test found at:
http://tabreziqbal.wordpress.com/2006/03/16/how-to-test-c-boost-installation/
(I used the correct commands to run from the comments, which was
g++ -o second second.cpp -lboost_filesystem)
I get the following error:

I know there's an installation test feature of boost that I found on
http://gcc.gnu.org/testing/testing-boost.html
but those files aren't included with the distribution from nuwen.net (so I'd have to do it myself).
And help is appreciated - I figure I'm just screwing up something minor (I hope anyway).
Thanks all!
It's not correct command, you should link boost::system too (errors are undefined references to boost::system::system_category).
Correct command will be g++ -o second second.cpp -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem

I want to compile and run a simple c++ websocket application with g++ on windows.
Boost was installed like this:
./bootstrap.bat mingw
./b2.exe install --prefix=C:/boostLibs toolset=gcc
My c++ includes look like this:
#include <websocketpp/config/asio_no_tls.hpp>
#include <websocketpp/server.hpp>
#include <iostream>
This websocket sample was provided by https://github.com/zaphoyd/websocketpp
In order to build the project I issue this command:
g++ -Wno-deprecated -I ./cppServer/libs/ -I C:\boostLibs\include\boost-1_55 -L C:\boostLibs\lib -g ./cppServer/server.cpp -lboost_system
Which leeds me to this error message:
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/6.3.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lboost_system
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
If I try to build without -lboost_system, I get a very long exception, starting with:
C:/boostLibs/include/boost-1_55/boost/system/error_code.hpp:222: undefined reference to boost::system::generic_category()'
C:/boostLibs/include/boost-1_55/boost/system/error_code.hpp:223: undefined reference toboost::system::generic_category()'

C:\Users\JOHANN~1.HAS\AppData\Local\Temp\ccpKMWTH.o: In functionZN5boost6system10error_codeC1Ev':

So what am I missing? I can't figure it out right now.
Link to boost_system as -lboost_system-mgw63-mt-1_55, because this is what those files are called. See boost library naming for more details.
When you build boost you may like to specify --layout=system to b2.exe so that your files do not have that -mgw63-mt-1_55 in the filename and then just use -lboost_system when linking against it.
I'm getting some strange compiler/linker errors when trying to use boost::shared_mutex. I'm using boost v1.61 on a VM running 32-bit rhel 6.2.
Code that causes error:
hpp file:
#include <boost/thread/shared_mutex.hpp>
class SharedData
{
public:
SharedData();
~SharedData();
void packMessage(std::shared_ptr<Message> s);
private:
// mutex that allows multiple read, single write protection
boost::shared_mutex m_sharedMutex;
};
cpp file:
void SharedData::packMessage(std::shared_ptr<Message> s)
{
// get shared read access
boost::shared_lock<boost::shared_mutex> lock(m_sharedMutex); // <- this line causes the errors
// read stuff here
}
make output:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [bin/tester] Error 1
Everywhere I've searched has said that these errors mean I need to link the boost_thread library, which I've done in my cmake file (boost_system is included for other code in this same project):
target_link_libraries(${BINARY_NAME} boost_thread boost_system)
But the errors persist.
Originally I was using the boost 1.41 libraries that were already installed on my machine. When I hit these errors I ran yum remove boost-devel and then manually installed boost 1.61 to see if that would correct the errors. Is there something extra I needed to add to the ./bootstrap.sh or ./b2 install commands? I can see libboost_thread.a in /usr/local/lib, so I assumed that meant the thread library was built correctly.
Any thoughts on what is causing these errors? Thanks!
Edit:
Cmake's log didn't have anything useful I could see, but make VERBOSE=1 gives the following output:

Turns out my question is just like everyone else's.
#jww suggested I show the actual compile and link command invocation, not CMake's output, which I've added to my question. As you can see, the command is linking boost_system and pthread, but not boost_thread.
Digging into my project I realized that I had added boost_thread to my release build, but not into my unit test build, which is what I was trying to compile. Adding boost_thread to the unit test's CMakeLists.txt removed the error immediately.
I got a Qt environment that I need to compile.
But when compiling, I get the following messages:

I sucessfully ran small demos of Qt4.8.6 alone and one with Qwt.
The only doubt I have is regarding the ftd2xx lib.
But, I think it is linked properly because I am able to produce errors of undefined function if I don't link the DLL.
The error message is not clear to me. So, I have absolutely no idea where to look from here!
Could someone help me?
Thank you!
I'm following this tutorial however it does not state which libaries I need to include in order to get boost to work,current options for links are:
-I/usr/include/opencv2 -I/usr/include/boost_1_55_0 -I/usr/include/boost_1_55_0/boost -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0
however this returns the following erro:
which states that it can't find asio, am I doing something wrong or was assio the wrong library to link to? Or is there any other way to find out. Note that this is my 2nd c++ project(through I have a lot of java experience) and first with the heavy use of libraries so details are somewhat required.
Removing boost/asio gave me the following errors:

I use an ubuntu (x64) laptop if it matters.
Most of boost is implemented in what's called "header-only" code. Through the generous use of C++ templates, there is no actual library code to which your code needs to link. However, there are, as you've seen some actual libraries as well. Generally, the help you seek is probably here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#link-your-program-to-a-boost-library
Your particular program uses the timer and system libraries and so you can probably use this command line to link your program:
g++ timer.cpp -o timer -lboost_timer -lboost_system
You can look at the bjam in boost/libs/asio/example/cpp03/tutorial/Jamfile.v2:
project
: requirements
<library>/boost/system//boost_system
<library>/boost/thread//boost_thread
<define>BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1
<threading>multi
<os>SOLARIS:<library>socket
<os>SOLARIS:<library>nsl
<os>NT:<define>_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501
<os>NT,<toolset>gcc:<library>ws2_32
<os>NT,<toolset>gcc:<library>mswsock
<os>NT,<toolset>gcc-cygwin:<define>__USE_W32_SOCKETS
<os>HPUX,<toolset>gcc:<define>_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
<os>HPUX:<library>ipv6
;
You can see that they build all the tutorial steps with
-lboost_system -lboost_thread -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1

I am using Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit to compile latest Google RE2 library, but 'make testinstall' failed to compile, here is the log:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: * [testinstall] Error 1
I tried to replace -pthread with -lpthread, still failed, then I dumped libre2.so and found that pthread_xxx is in it.
Here is the issue tracking in RE2 forum: https://code.google.com/p/re2/issues/detail?id=100
Anyone here have ever complied RE2 successfully ? Thank you!
See this comment:
Adding -pthread to LDFLAGS seems to fix make test (all tests are
passing), but not make testinstall.
That will get you to the next error
Depending on what you build it for 'make testinstall' might not be necessary.
I just needed to get python re2 port working, and this can be installed after running make install.
I encounter this problem before. Modify the makefile and use -lpthread instead of -pthread.
So I tried looking for the lines in testinstall.cc that were causing the symbol errors and I found out that the only line was on line 18:
18 - f.firstMatch(:abbccc:, ids);
I commented this line out (so that the FullMatch function below is still called) and just ran g++ testinstall.cc -lre2 -pthread -o testinstall (basically what the Makefile does) and I was able to get a binary successfully. Although this might not really solve the problem, its good to know that we can still use the RE2::Fullmatch and partial match functions
If I were to guess, maybe there is a dependency somewhere inside the filtered_re2 module?
I had the same problem. But if you compile with -static everything goes well.
nm -C shows that the "missing" symbol exists in both .a and .so files.
